Constitution of Corporations
According to the provisions of the Articles 26 and 27 of the Iranian Trademark and Patent Law, discoveries of new industrial products, new processes, additions and changes in existing ones, and aiming at producing a new industrial or agricultural product, are considered as inventions, and therefore, are patentable.
Our legal system in this respect is declarative, but contrary to the adoptive system, inventions that are filed as independent patents now, have to be examined by the Registration Office for their novelty.
