This research aims to analyze studies related to the field of intellectual property rights in Iran that are indexed in the ISC database.<br /><strong>Methodology:</strong> This research employed a quantitative content analysis approach, incorporating co-word analysis and social network analysis. The data were extracted from the Islamic World Scientific and Technology Monitoring and Citation Institution (ISC) in 2024. Data analysis was conducted using Bibexcel, UCINET, VOSviewer, and SPSS software. Cluster analysis was performed in VOSviewer, and strategic diagrams were created using Excel. The centrality and density scores of the clusters were utilized to construct the strategic diagram. The average network scores were 5.605 for centrality and 0.593 for density.<br /><strong>Findings: </strong>The research revealed that the concepts of "intellectual property rights", "patent", and "copyright" ranked first, second, and third, with frequencies of 226, 97, and 78, respectively. The pairs "intellectual property rights" with "copyright" and the pair of "intellectual property rights" and "patent" have exhibited most highest conceptual structure of intellectual property rights in Iran consists of consists of clusters as clusters, below: described TRIPS Copyright; Technometrics, Agreement; Technometrics; Literary Indication; artistic property Artistic Property Rights; of Intellectual Property rights (IPR) Rights Iran and USA, Industrial the USA; rights, Property Rights; Biodiversity knowledge, Traditional Knowledge; rights, Property Rights; criminal aspects Criminal Aspects property, Intellectual Property; computer software Computer Software; capital and Capital components. Its Components. Furthermore, an analysis of the clusters identified them at various developmental stages, including maturity.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The research results indicate that bibliometric studies have established a significant presence in Iranian research and have achieved relative maturity. Consequently, "Technometrics" has been identified as one of the main clusters in the field of intellectual property rights. Additionally, the findings reveal that research in this field in Iran exhibits considerable conceptual and topical diversity. The co-word analysis of intellectual property rights research in Iran has provided a clear overview of the research process in this field. The results indicate that Iranian researchers have concentrated primarily on specific topics such as copyright, patents, and industrial property rights. Additionally, this analysis has helped identify various research clusters and the relationships among them. On the other hand, the formation of 12 research clusters in the field of intellectual property showed the diversity of topics investigated. This variety of clusters indicated the breadth of the field of intellectual property, which has been addressed in various legal, industrial, and technological domains. Notably, clusters focusing on the comparative analysis of intellectual property in Iranian and American law, as well as literary and artistic property rights, demonstrate particular attention to the commercial and cultural applications of intellectual property. The "Intellectual Property Rights" cluster has been identified as the most central, underscoring its pivotal role in the structure of intellectual property research and its significance as a key concept across all studies in this field. This cluster has had the greatest impact in shaping research due to its connections with other clusters and its coverage of key topics. Conversely, the intellectual capital and its components cluster have the highest density, indicating researchers' strong focus on intellectual capital and its components. "Intellectual Property Rights", "Computer Software", and "Intellectual Capital and its components" clusters have been identified as mature and central clusters in intellectual property research. This demonstrates the maturity of Iranian research in these fields and the presence of a core group of active researchers who will likely be the focus of future studies. Overall, due to the emergence of some keywords affected by technological developments, it seems that laws and regulations related to intellectual property need to be modified and adapted to technological developments so that these laws are aligned with technological developments. The results of this study showed that although the research area of intellectual property rights has experienced significant growth in recent decades in Iran, there are still some gaps and new opportunities for future research that can lead to a better understanding of various dimensions of the concept, particularly in underexplored subject clusters such as biodiversity and traditional knowledge, as well as geographical indications, which have received less attention and have not been able to achieve sufficient maturity and development over time. <strong>هدف:</strong> پژوهش حاضر ازنظر هدف کاربردی است و با استفاده از روش‌های علم‌سنجی به تحلیل هم‌رخدادی واژگان در مطالعات حوزة حقوق مالکیت فکری در مؤسسه استنادی و پایش علم و فناوری جهان اسلام (آی‌اس‌سی) پرداخته است.<br /><strong>روش‌شناسی: </strong>این پژوهش از نوع مطالعات تحلیل محتوای کمی است و با استفاده از تحلیل هم‌رخدادی واژگان و تحلیل شبکه­های اجتماعی انجام‌شده است. داده­های موردنیاز این پژوهش، در تیرماه 1403 از آی‌اس‌سی استخراج گردید. برای تحلیل داده­ها از نرم‌افزارهای بیب اکسل، یو سی آی نت و ووس ویور استفاده شد. همچنین، روش­های آماری تحلیل خوشه‌ای و نمودار راهبردی به کار گرفته شد.<br /><strong>یافته‌ها:</strong> نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که ساختار مفهومی حقوق مالکیت فکری در ایران از 12 خوشه تشکیل‌شده که است که عبارت‌اند از: حق مؤلف، موافقت‌نامه تریپس، فن سنجی، نشانة جغرافیایی، حقوق مالکیت ادبی و هنری، مقایسة تطبیقی مالکیت فکری در حقوق ایران و حقوق آمریکا، حقوق مالکیت صنعتی، تنوع زیستی و دانش سنتی، حقوق مالکیت فکری، ابعاد حقوقی و کیفری مالکیت فکری، حمایت از نرم‌افزارهای رایانه‌ای و سرمایة فکری و اجزاء آن.<br /><strong>نتیجه‌گیری:</strong> نتایج پژوهش حاکی از آن است که مطالعات علم‌سنجی در پژوهش­های حوزة حقوق مالکیت فکری ایران جایگاه خود را یافته و به بلوغ نسبی رسیده است، به‌طوری‌که «فن سنجی» به‌عنوان یکی از خوشه­های اصلی این حوزة شناسایی‌شده است. همچنین، خوشة «حقوق مالکیت فکری» به‌عنوان مرکزی‌ترین خوشه، نشان‌دهندة نقش محوری این خوشه در ساختار پژوهش‌های مالکیت فکری و همچنین اهمیت آن به‌عنوان یک مفهوم کلیدی در تمام پژوهش‌های این حوزه است. از سوی دیگر، خوشة «سرمایة فکری و اجزای آن» با دارا بودن بالاترین تراکم، گویای تمرکز پژوهشگران بر این مفهوم و مؤلفه‌های تشکیل‌دهندة آن است. https://rsci.shahed.ac.ir/article_4699_528ffee89c5d50f21043546689ecafd3.pdf
