| description | The term of intellectual property rights refers to the rights in copyright, designs, patents, circuit
layouts, trademarks and plant breeder’s rights. It also includes the doctrines of passing off and breach of
confidence. The role of intellectual property rights is significant in the global economy; they are the only
assets that some corporations possess. In the most cases, labourers create such inventions in the course of
their work. Therefore, modern laws around the world state specific provisions for regulating the ownership
of such rights when the work is made by an employee. The present research aims at analysing legal
provisions of Iraqi law in the field and comparing them to those of the United States of America (USA) and
the United Kingdom (UK). It focuses on four main intellectual creations: copyright, patents, designs and
plant varieties. Finally, the study points out some suggestions and updates to be made in the relevant Iraqi
laws. |
