As of 2018 theWorld Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the 1970Act for Protection of Authors, Composers and Artists Rights (Copyright Law) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Iran.[1]
The Islamic Parliament Research Center Of The Islamic Republic of Iran holds the Farsi text of this law.[2]
According to the 1970Law for the Protection of Authors, Composers and Artist Rights,
  | PerU.S. Circ. 38a, the following countries are not participants in theBerne Convention orUniversal Copyright Convention and there is no presidential proclamation restoring U.S. copyright protection to works of these countries on the basis of reciprocal treatment of the works of U.S. nationals or domiciliaries:
As such, works published by citizens of these countries in these countries are usually not subject to copyright protection outside of these countries. Hence, such works may be in the public domain in most other countries worldwide. However:
Iran has enacted a copyright law which came into force on 12 January 1970 and communicated theofficial English translation to UNESCO on 20 April 1970. |
Although Iran is not party to the conventions mentioned it should be noted that bilateral agreements may restrict usage. E.g. the German-Iranian”Abkommen zwischen dem Deutschen Reich und dem Kaiserreich Persien über den Schutz von Erfindungspatenten, Fabrik- oder Handelsmarken, von Handelsnamen und Mustern sowie von Werken der Kunst und Literatur” of 1930 remains in force. Therein „Die Hohen Vertragschließenden Teile verpflichten sich, um die vorbezeichneten Rechte zu schützen, geeignete Maßnahmen gegen jede Verletzung dieser Rechte zu treffen.“ loosely translated into English: “The Contracting Parties agree to protect aforementioned rights and to take appropriate measures against transgressions.” Amongst these rights are those concerning art and literature („künstlerischen und literarischen Eigentums“). Thus in Germany the German level of protection needs to be applied.
