Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges regarding its effectiveness, accessibility, and alignment with the country's socio-cultural realities. Many IPR regulations are modeled on international legal frameworks that often lack contextual relevance to local needs particularly those of indigenous communities, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and traditional artists. This disconnect reveals the insufficient role of the state in ensuring substantive justice across all layers of society. This study seeks to critically assess IPR protection policies through the lens of progressive legal theory a framework introduced by Satjipto Rahardjo, which posits that law should serve social justice and be responsive to societal dynamics. By employing both normative-juridical and sociological methods, this research underscores the urgent need to reconstruct IPR policies so that they go beyond formal legal protection and function as tools for empowering local creative sectors. The findings indicate that a just and equitable IPR protection system must integrally account for social, economic, and cultural dimensions. Progressive law offers a foundational approach for designing policies that are inclusive and responsive to the lived realities of the Indonesian people. Therefore, the reconstruction of IPR policy is not only a legal necessity but also a moral imperative in creating a legal system that is liberating, human-centered, and socially just.
