Keynote: “Islamic Theory of Intellectual Property Law”

While intellectual property (IP) law is an established legal framework present in the U.S. and many Western countries, its contributions in balancing among competing policies often falls short of expectations. An Islamic theory of IP law sheds new light on the debate and tension of private property and economic justice. While it is important to understand the implementation of the Islamic theory of IP law in Muslim countries, it should also be noted that its principles can help provide new considerations to shape or reform to Western IP legal systems.
