"Hopefully this certification will become legal standing for batik business actors. In this event we also encourage the granting of intellectual property rights for brands, designs, and motifs. The aim is to protect the designs of Papuan batik motifs in the future so that these motifs can have higher economic value, especially for the people of Papuan batik activists," he explained.
