The thesis entitled "The Status of Inheritance of Copyright by an
Inheritance with Change of Citizenship and Passes Away Without Heir", has the
formulation of the problem: What is the status of inheritance in the form of
Copyright from an Creator who died without heir where the Creator changes
nationality. The countries studied in this study are the United States of America
and Germany. The research was conducted using a normative research with
comparative approach. The results of the study concluded that the United States
and Germany had the same outcome as the regulation in Indonesia, that it would
fall to the state. Inheritance of a copyright without heir in the two countries
follows the legal provisions of the inheritance, which falls to the state, so that the
status of the copyright inheritance of an Creator who passes away without heir
where the Creator changes citizenship will fall into the country which becomes
his/her new citizenship.
