Tesis ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum yuridis normatif, yaitu penelitian terhadap bahan-bahan pustaka dan didukung dengan wawancara ahli perlindungan sumber daya genetika, berupa spesimen virus Flu Burung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui permasalahan dalam upaya perlindungan sumber daya genetika terkait dengan benefit sharing atas kepemilikian spesimen virus Flu Burung strain Indonesia. Beberapa pokok permasalahan adalah apakah spesimen virus Flu Burung sebagai sumber daya genetika memerlukan perlindungan hukum ? Bagaimana status spesimen virus Flu Burung dalam konteks kepemilikan oleh Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang ? Apakah Perlindungan Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI), khususnya rezim paten dapat melindungi kepemilikan sumber daya genetika ? Bagaimana upaya perlindungan sumber daya genetika atas kepemilikan spesimen virus Flu Burung strain Indonesia ? Penyelesaian masalah ini adalah perlindungan spesimen virus Flu Burung perlu mendapat perlindungan hukum. Status spesimen Flu Burung dalam konteks kepemilikan oleh Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang, yang dianggap oleh negara-negara maju sebagai public domain, berdasarkan “common heritage ofhumankiruF, tetapi berdasarkan CBD, kedaulatan negara membatasi “common heritage of humankind’. Oleh karena ketidakmampuan rezim paten untuk melindungi spesimen virus Flu Burung, maka dperlukan upaya perlindungan lain. Dalam melindungi spesimen virus sebagai sumber daya genetika melalui peraturan WHO, peraturan nasional Indonesia dan sistem kontrak, sehingga mendapatkan benefit sharing. Sebagai hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan nilai dan budaya hukum antara negara maju dan negara berkembang, yang menyebabkan misappropriation dalam penggunaan sumber daya genetika, terkait dengan kepemilikan spesimen virus Flu Burung strain Indonesia.
