Intellectual Property Law
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Law regarding the protection of Intellectual Property divides into two periods of time, before and after the Islamic revolution. By considering that the Laws before the Islamic revolution remained valid even after the revolution, Intellectual Property Law protects intellectual/intangible assets such as inventions, trademarks, industrial designs, and geographical indications.
Intellectual Property Law
Iran’s law regarding intellectual property has an advanced legal framework which may be suitable ground for international cooperation.
Iran is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and has joined several international treaties such as the Paris Convention for Protection of Industrial Property 1959 as well as the Madrid Agreement and Protocol for International Registrations of Trademarks 2003.
Is Iran a member of the other relevant organization or treaties regarding IP Law?
Iran is one of the member states of the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration in 2005 but didn’t sign the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works yet and didn’t sign the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).
