This article analyses the protection of intellectual property rights from the
perspective of Islamic law. This article examines intellectual property rights by
analyzing the concepts of wealth, rights, and ownership in Islamic law. This study
employs a normative research method. The approach utilized in this research
includes statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used in this study
encompassed secondary data derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal
materials. The research findings reveal that most scholars categorize intellectual
property rights as a form of wealth, thereby subjecting it to similar treatment and
legal consequences as other forms of wealth. Intellectual property rights constitute
movable wealth, are permissible for utilization, lack a standardized market unit,
and maintain their value even when exploited. Consequently, intellectual property
can be transacted for profit and safeguarded by assessing its value when
compensating for any loss. When acquired or discovered through means that
adhere to Islamic law, intellectual property becomes a permissible right to possess.
However, the ownership of these intellectual property rights under Islamic law
remains constrained by Sharia principles.
