omparative analysis of employment contracts in the aspects of economic law of drug invention in Iranian law, common law and European law

Abstract(include summary, goals, executive ways and results): The pharmaceutical industry, in order to make the drugs needed by human societies and with the aim of making a profit, hires relevant specialists so that they can keep pace with medical developments. Understanding the rules of employment relationships in this area is very important and one of the major issues in this regard is the ownership of the invented drug, especially drugs for specific diseases that bring significant income. In the present study, library tools have been used to collect materials by taking notes from law books and reputable sites, as well as descriptive-analytical research methods to analyze the materials. Regarding the issue, it can be said that different countries have adopted relatively similar approaches to solve this problem. In many countries, professionals are rewarded in addition to their salary if they succeed in inventing a drug. If the medicine is made by the employer during his working hours or by using the employer's facilities and equipment, it belongs to the employer and, except for the above conditions, the invented medicine belongs to the inventor. In employment contracts for the invention of medicine, the parties are free to choose the terms of the contract. The rule of will in these contracts gives the parties the power to specify the limits of their obligations under these contracts. In the event of a dispute, the court will deal with this in accordance with legal rules. There is no specific law in international law in this regard and there are only rules related to the protection of pharmaceutical products. Based on this, the owner of the invented drugs in employment relations will be determined according to the contract, and after registration, these products will be protected in accordance with international rules.
