Resolutions of the jurisprudential and accredited scientific institutions make clear that innovation rights are preserved to whom they belong. Although these rights are moral, it is customary that they are owned, which makes them possessionable according to Islamic jurisprudence. Thus, it isn`t permissible to transgress against or to dispose of without the permission of their owners. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.
