These include intellectual property rights. It has also been challenged by the emergence and expansion of cyberspace, longstanding balance and coexistence of copyrights and public interests. At the moment, because of not joining the Bern Convention, the country's relationship with the international level is disconnected. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the author's rights to establish cultural, economic and ... relations in the international arena. Delphi method was used in this study. The statistical population of this study includes experts, authors, educators and activists in the field of law, communications, and information technology, which also has the ability and expertise in the field of intellectual property.
