Abstract

The recognition and enforcement of foreign intellectual property judgments as the result of other substantive issues in conflict of law (jurisdiction and governing law) are in these cases. Due to the increasing international trade relations, especially with respect to intellectual property rights, the number of such claims has increased, and the need to internationally recognize and enforce the judgments issued in this area is felt in different ways. Given the background of the issue in international documents, this issue is not examined long ago, and recently some non-binding legal principles have been adopted by some foreign law institutes. Iranian law is silent in this regard and only the general provisions of Iran’s civil law and the law on the enforcement of civil judgments can be invoked. The main issue of this article is that given the specific nature of intellectual property rights, it is necessary to address is the existing system sufficient to recognize and enforce the judgments of foreign intellectual property, or does it require the formulation of specific rules in this regard?
