Any right, whether positive or negative, can be transferred. Assignment means that all or a part of the existing obligation is transferred to one or more persons with the agreement of the assigner and the assignee without obtaining the consent and agreement of the debtor, for compensation or free of charge. The person who becomes the owner of the obligation after the assignment can use all the attributes and benefits of that obligation. One of the basic issues in the discussion of the assignment is the debtor's rights and the way to protect their rights in the assignment. The review of domestic laws shows the ambiguities and gaps of this legal entity, and the resolution of these ambiguities and gaps depends on comparative study. Therefore, this research with a comparative study aims to answer the question of what are the rights of the debtor in the assignment and how can the rights of the debtor be protected at the time of the assignment? In this research, in a descriptive and analytical way, the voluntary assignment and the way of protecting the rights of the debtor in the assignment in the legal system of Iran and English law and the principles of European contract law will be dealt with, which is appropriate considering the countless gaps in this matter. Iran's legal system benefited from the achievements of other legal systems, especially the principles of European contract law, which is an international document, and its basic foundations are based on European common law, in order to improve and eliminate gaps.
By referring to some laws such as Articles 746 and 321 of the Civil Code, Article 38 of the Insolvency Law, and Article 26 of the Insurance Law, it is possible to prove the existence of assignment in Iran's legal system and its independence and distinction from the legal institution of Novation. According to this research, the legal rules about assignment should be set in such a way as to protect the debtor. The first way to protect the debtor is the non-assignment clause in contracts, which is accepted in all three legal systems. In addition, there is a general rule in the assignment that the assignee cannot have more rights than the assigner, or even in some cases may have fewer rights than the assigner, which ultimately owes the benefits of this general rule. In addition, if the assignment takes place between the assigner and the assignee and the debtor takes action to fulfill the obligation to the assigner before receiving the official notification, in this situation, the obligee will not re-enforce the obligation and leave the resulting loss to the parties. In the rule of Prior Tempore Potior Jure, the first assigner is based on the date of assignment, and in the rule that was adopted in the case of Dearle v Hall, the date of written notice to the debtor is the criterion for determining the person entitled to enforcement.
In the British legal system and the principles of European contract law, a written notice to the debtor about the assignment is mandatory, but there is no provision in Iranian law regarding the written notice to the obligee after the assignment. This issue is also one of the important objections regarding the assignment request. Of course, according to the insolvency Law, the assignee can be released from responsibility by proving that he informed the assignment before payment or that the debtor was informed about the assignment by another means. Therefore, in Iranian law, the knowledge of the debtor is effective in transferring the claimant, and this knowledge can be realized in both written and oral ways.
So the necessity of compiling and enacting comprehensive laws in relation to the legal entity of the assignment and assigning an independent title to it in civil law considering the great importance of this legal entity and especially considering the expansion of transactions in the field of international trade and increasing the speed of exchanges, is seriously felt. Also, like English law and the principles of European contract law, in Iranian law, a written notice to the debtor about the assignment must be required in the form of a statement or by the court officers, because in this case, it avoids creating any dispute and ultimately leads to a reduction in the number of claims.

The applicable law in intellectual property lawsuits is one of the new topics in the field of conflict of laws and has recently attracted the attention of legal scholars. actually, many of the questions in this field are still vague and controversial, and no precise answer can be found. One of the most challenging issues related to the applicable law in these lawsuits are the conflict of law rules and in particular “the Lex Loci Protectionis” which is based on the principle of territoriality as the most important feature. Moreover some new questions as to whether the territoriality principle is appropriate for transnational infringment of intellectual property rights were raised.Given the short history of this issue in international legal documents, the lack of relevant legal rules in Iranian law is no surprise .In this article, we seek to answer two main questions. in general, and in accordance with international regulations, is the Lex Loci Protectionis recognized as a general conflict of law rule for intellectual property lawsuits? If so, is such a conflict of law rule appropriate for Iran's legal system as a developing country

< p >< p >The block chain is a decentralized ledger that has the ability to handle all types of financial transactions and data storage of electronic datasets. The study, in a documentary seeks to answer the question of how the block chain implementation plays a role in protecting copyright at the international phase. The key role of this platform in protecting the security, transparency, availability of users, preventing violations of intellectual rights and more and faster support for countries that implement this platform are copyright rights. But the identification of these indicators depends on the conceptualization, the expression of the function, the means of differentiation, and the challenges faced by this context. Due to the widespread use of this platform in the world, the release and publication of a work is a publication, and all countries that include the Berne Convention are required to support this work. Of course, block chain’s implementation is faced with challenges such as security of trade, the coordination of the inside and outside of it, and the lack of rules for the harmonization of licensing contracts, virtual currency validation, metadata storage and invariance, which requires the attention of policymakers in Implementation of this ledger in the legal system.

Equity firms have been emerging economically more than other firms in the legal and economic areas. Given the fact that the majority of the people in the society can be regarded as the members of these firms in various ways, they have enjoyed great satisfaction with the majority of the people. The present study aims to evaluate the minority shareholder's rights in the context of the decomposition of joint stock firms, as well as the related effects and judgments in the legal system of Iran and England. The study of the two legal systems indicates that, unlike English law, there is no specific provision regarding the decomposition of commercial enterprises, especially non-governmental organizations. In addition, based on English law, there are appropriate provisions for protecting minority shareholders, particularly in the case of corporate analysis. However, as far as Iran law is concerned, there are a few provisions in favor of a minority shareholder and the necessary support for a minority shareholder has been considered in the trade bill. Therefore, comparing the laws and regulations of the two countries can lead to many challenges and ambiguities in mergers and divisions of joint stock companies

A breach of an obligation is the requirement for imposing a contractual liability in all legal systems. Such a breach could be dealt with by a series of remedies such as specific performance, termination of the contract and claim for damages. These remedies could be relied upon concurrently as far as they are cumulative in nature. Nevertheless, in some circumstances the adequacy of these remedies is in doubt to address such breaches and bad faith. In order to deal with such situations, some international instruments such as UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC), the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) and also the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) have established some specific rules and imposed different and greater liability for breaching contractual obligations or bad faith in order to support the other party and have a deterrent role. In other words, the aggrieved party is not limited to anticipated damages, or in some cases it is possible to demand punitive damages. This article, through a comparative analysis, attempts to examine whether the same rules could apply under Iranian law or not.

According to Article 32 (1) of the American Trademark law, trademark infringement is commercial use with no permition of the mark of another in a way that causes likelihood of confusion to product or service, their origin or affiliation to that origin. The grounds of of realizationtrademark infringement in us include the existence of valid mark whether registered or unregistered and using of mark, being the use commercial, proof of likelihood of confusion. Also the Iranian patent, industrial dedign and trademark law, introduce the non permission use of anothers mark and accoring likelehood of confusion of the consumer, the requirements of civil liability from the trademark infringement and like lanham act, do not mention the negligince of defendant. However, studing the judicial perecents shaws that in iraninn law, existing of valid registered or unregistered mark and being the use of anothers mark commercial, is the realization of infringement. Unlike the American system, Iranian law does not mention the confusion arising from affiliation and confusion following such confusion, is considered under the false advertising. In compare with the lanham act, with respect to the irrelevance of it in confision of consumer, this is the advantage of Iran's law. In this paper, emphasizing judgements of courts of us and Iran, analyzing these elements will be discussed and appropriate proposals presented during the discussion of the project.

Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration has been a source ofinspiration for numerous countries. In choosing a legal structure, there isa strong tendency towards adopting a monist legal regime based on theModel Law. In Iran, as a result of the ratification of Iranian InternationalCommercial Arbitration Act (ICAA) in 1997, Iranian arbitration law haschanged its structure from monism to dualism, that is, the Civil ProcedureCode is applicable to domestic arbitration, whereas ICAA applies tointernational arbitration. The duality of the system is not an appropriatelegal structure. This article argues that Iranian arbitration law should bebased on monism. It concludes that not only should Iranian arbitrationlaw be in consistent with the Model Law 2006, but it should also extendbeyond the Model Law by providing a more comprehensive legislation.

Nowadays,one of the new methods for treatment of infertility from legal and medical perspectives is surrogacy, which has been considered more than forms of assistive reproductive. This method makes fertility possible for women who don’t have a normal pregnancy for whatever reason and give this chance to them to do it by surrogacy. One of the issues raised in this regard is parentage and the main question is who the child’s parents are? Intended parents or surrogate? According to Iranian law, the child belongs to owners of sperm and eggs. In the U.S. there are, however, different laws from one state to another. Some states consider the issue only on the basis of benefit and best interests of child. However, others believe that the child belongs to surrogate, and some other countries propose a solution by obtaining a pre-birth parentage order, which regards the child as belongs to intended parents
