Intellectual property rights are recognized in the Iranian jurisprudence both in form of International Conventions to which Iran has acceded, as well as laws adopted by the national Parliament. The Law for Protecting the Rights of Authors, Composers and Artists (1969) particularly considers architectural designs and drawings as an intellectual property (article2.7). Thus, the originator (architect, designer or engineer) is entitled to a set of intangible and tangible rights with regard to a certain property. There are certain criteria for a design to qualify as intellectual property, however. The intangible rights of the originator are not limited to a physical or temporal sphere and are not transferrable, while there is a limited protection period and territory for the tangible rights. Criminal and civil liabilities are envisaged in this law in case intellectual property rights are violated.
