Abstract

Undoubtedly, in the current era, what is important in the field of intellectual property is its commercialization. On the other hand, the transfer of intellectual property in the form of legal contracts is essential. These forms are numerous in Iranian law: some contracts, such as sale, exchange, and loan cause the transfer of ownership of the same property, and some other contracts, such as lease, transfer the ownership of interests for a limited period of time. What was examined in the present article is the feasibility of adapting the lease to intellectual property. Almost from the beginning of the formation of the intellectual property law system regarding the transfer of intellectual property concerning the feasibility of adapting the lease contract as a specific contract in the Iranian legal system, with intellectual property, there has been no organized and accurate research. The authors have studied the issue and concluded that according to the jurisprudential and legal definition of the lease contract and due to the term in this contract and the lack of a term in the copyright law, the creator's right is not compatible with the lease. As a result, it is not possible to design the legal environment governing this market, and it will not be possible to apply intellectual property in the form of a lease.
