Abstract

While most research in the field of intellectual property rights has primarily focused on modern technologies and intellectual advancements to drive the evolution and development of this legal discipline, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of past shortcomings in order to chart a future path effectively. Studying the deficiencies in the  approaches employed by our predecessors and the consequent challenges they faced can  greatly assist in avoiding the repetition of previous mistakes and designing an efficient legal  system. Therefore, this theoretical research aims to meticulously examine the performance  of prominent countries in the realm of copyright in both the Islamic and Western worlds,  and assess the positions of these two legal systems through the lens of history. By utilizing  them as benchmarks, we can evaluate new legal principles. The findings derived from this  research demonstrate the profound and extensive influence of literary and artistic properties  on all facets of human life, emphasizing the necessity of designing a legal framework  tailored to the beliefs, culture, economy, and industry of each nation.
