Abstract
The current practice in the research & development of many large & industrial companies in the world is moving towards the assumption that the gained ideas with a high rate value should be shared with others. This approach, contrary to the usual procedure in the intellectual property rights system (which seeks to exclude others from the use of proprietary intellectual property), seems to support the free flow of ideas & knowledge beyond the internal levels of companies. In order to achieve this goal; At the end of this study, considering the various challenges faced by activists in the field of open innovation in the current Iranian market, solutions have been proposed to amend & supplement the legal texts, which we hope will facilitate participation in the latest activities.
