JAKARTA: The Law Ministry’s East Java regional office has raised a plan to grant intellectual property rights for the horeg sound system for its creative content and industrial design. The plan was first conveyed by the ministry’s regional office head Haris Sukamto on April 21, who said that the horeg sound system was a name born from the creativity of the Indonesian people.
“We plan to honoru those who have brought such innovative ideas to life through this style of sound system,” Haris said, as quoted by kompas.com. The horeg sound system, which means “to move” or “vibrate” in East Java, is marked by a stack of loudspeakers carried on a truck to deliver loud music that can shake walls. Horeg has long been part of weddings, street parties and religious gatherings.
