Regardless of the nature of collective management organizations whether governmental or non-governmental, national or international, independent or dependent on the state’s institutions, or their inclusion in the form of one of the companies mentioned in Trade Act, due to the particular characteristics of such organizations such as field of activities, varieties of works and rights protected under intellectual property regime, some conditions and characters need to be specified in such organization’s Charters. Among these conditions are the rights, subject of activities, scope of which persons can become a member, procedures of membership, verification or its cancellation, confidentiality conditions and administration of these originations. Therefore, since no sample charter for establishment of such organizations has been suggested, and due to the need of existence of a sample or model in the Iranian legal system, this article tries to identify conditions essential to the establishment of collective management organizations and make them distinct from legal persons.
