چکیده
Intellectual property rights (IPR) of computer software is the right to assign the software to its creator, not limited to time and space, and non-transferable.

The present study was conducted by comparing two populations in Iran with the aim of identifying the level of familiarity and observance of software IPR: 1) 96 software engineers member of IEEE Association and 2) 386 students randomly. Results are analyzed by SPSS software and the validity of the results is verified using T-test. By comparing the results, it was concluded that the first population significantly observed these cases more. Then a model was presented for protecting software IPR so that the challenges are reduced. This research is the completion of our previous work that was discussed as a future work.
