The Intersection of Intellectual Property Rights and Islamic Concepts

The Intersection of Intellectual Property Rights and Islamic Concepts

Product Description
This academic work explores the nuanced relationship between modern Intellectual Property (IP) frameworks and classical Islamic jurisprudence. As a subject often overlooked in contemporary scholarship, this book provides a foundational basis for recognizing and regulating IP rights within an Islamic context. It bridges the gap between international standards, such as the WTO's TRIPS provisions, and the core sources of Sharia—the Quran, Sunnah, Ijma, and Qiyas.

Published by UNISSA Press, this volume is an essential resource for legal practitioners, scholars, and policymakers in Muslim-majority jurisdictions navigating the complexities of IP reform in harmony with religious doctrine.
