Journal Article 2024 09 03 With the increasing complexity of international production and trade, commercial companies are outsourcing their production processes to developing countries to reduce costs. In these countries, workers often operate under poor conditions without proper legal protections. These supply chains have resulted in numerous labor rights violations and human tragedies, necessitating the adoption of specific regulations on the civil liability of trademark owners. Consequently, leading nations, particularly the European Union, have recently introduced effective legislation, such as the 2024 Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, to ensure corporate and trademark owner accountability in supply chains. This article focuses on the labor rights violations within supply chains and examines the civil liability foundations of trademark-owning companies, including ethical, social, economic, and Islamic jurisprudential principles. Highlighting the absence of regulations governing the liability of trademark owners in Iran, the study emphasizes the importance of adopting a regulatory framework similar to the EU directive. It proposes developing suitable legal structures tailored to Iran’s needs, drawing upon theoretical foundations and local requirements.
