Creation of Exceptional Courts for Proceedings Industrial Property Law Claims and Complaints has some advantages and in contrast some disadvantages. Unjustifiable high costs, grounding for abuse and misconduct, undermining the generalism view point of judges, difficulty of public access to these courts and debilitating the independence of the court are the most important disadvantages that have been raised for exceptional courts in industrial property cases. In contrast creating and maintaining a specific integrated and coherent procedure in doctrine and judicial procedure, promoting and improving the status of protection of industrial property rights, improving and accelerating the process of reviewing and issuing awards in this area, reducing costs related to litigation in judicial authorities, The dynamics of judiciary system of a country in the field of scientific and practical developments in industrial property and improving the protection of business are the most important benefits of this type of courts. This article has been written based on descriptive and analytic method for study of assessment and feasibility of desirability of industrial property exceptional courts with attention to aforementioned advantages and disadvantages. The results of this study show that exceptional courts in each of its forms are not efficient for all countries and in countries such as Iran, due to the status of industrial property, the numbers of related claims and complaints and the structure and organization of courts and method of their proceeding aren’t justifiable. At present, in Iranian law, the model adopted in Articles 8 and 9 of the Commercial Procedure Bill in relation to the establishment of commercial courts in all provincial capitals (Article 8), which some of them are dedicated to intellectual property (Article 9), subject to expansion the jurisdiction of these courts to industrial property crimes is a desirable model.

Contract of sale is the most important possessory contract which refers to the property transfer of an object of sale from seller to buyer. Third party claim regarding the ownership of an object of sale will undermine the effectiveness of the aforementioned rights. Regulations governing the Iranian law concerning meddle deals and defects warrantor implies that such claim will result in total cancellation of the contract of sale and the status will return to what was previously (i.e prior to conclusion of the agreement). Accordingly, it is essential to secure entire rights of the claim asserted by third party (owner), refund the original property (object of sale) to the party that possess it, and compensate for all the losses. The original buyer, however, can only request the price previously paid, expenses of judicial proceedings and the like, albeit with much less buying power and in case of ignorance that object of sale belonged to someone else. In fact, the current regulations are based on a supportive approach to the benefit of “owner”, so that rights of the original buyer are considered submissive to quality of the rights demanded by the owner; because nullification of the agreement between the dealers will hamper contractual claims of the seller against the buyer. In other words, the buyer can merely pursue the price previously paid and regain the former status. Therefore, the condition of “nullité partielle” of contract in such cases is similarly recognized in the Egyptian law that actually originates from the French version of law, based on which the contractual relationship between buyer and seller is distinguished from their relationship with the owner and its validity remains despite the nullity regarding the owner. Partial nullity (nullité partielle) can promote the supportive approach in benefit of the original bona fide buyer and become more compatible with the principles of justice and fairness.

Competition law is conceived as one of the most important factors in the success of free market economic systems. The idea is that if free competition exists among activists at production and distribution of goods and services, economic efficiency and ultimately total welfare will increase. While this new branch of law has long provoked fascinating interdisciplinary discussions among economists and lawyers, the legal system of Iran has recently taken the first step in this field. So it is required that from now that the underlying premises and principles of this area of law are properly discussed and examined to pave the way for deeper future researches. Certainly one of the most important and basic questions about any new regulations which it is of a determinant role in interpreting their provisions, is goals which those regulations seek to achieve. Lawyers and legal systems have no consensus on objectives of competition law. Generally, multiple goals for the said regulations are conceivable that sometimes run at odds with each in execution stage. The following article, relying on Iran legal system is to explain the objectives of competition law. It shows that the “Soul” of competition law is the preservation of competition to promote efficiencies for consumers.
