1) a nation can compete through innovations that produce inventions/technology, where mastery of technology makes a nation prosperous;
2) Related to technology in the pharmaceutical sector (95% raw materials) & medical equipment 94% are still imported;
3) This condition indicates that the current domestic market in Indonesia, especially related to technology products, has been “colonized” by foreign parties even though Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world, but only produces very few patents;
4) Technology mastery strategy (increasing domestic patent applications). Patents that can be utilized: (a) patents whose protection period has expired or have become public property -+20 million patents; (b) A patent or patent application in Indonesia that has been rejected, withdrawn by the applicant, is deemed to be withdrawn or null and void – + 40,000 patents; (c) World patent applications >2.5 million per year, foreign patent applications registered in Indonesia -+ 8000 patents/year, so world patent applications not registered in Indonesia (2.5 million – 8000 =-+2.492. 000 documents/year;
