Functional dimensions and technical aspects of products are only protectable through the patent system. Therefore other branches of intellectual property law -trademark law, industrial design law and literary and artistic property law (copyright)- cover only the non-functional features of products. This distinguishing feature is described as "Non-functional requirement". It seems that this requirement is intended to separate the scope of patent system from other branches of intellectual property law and promote efficient competition in the market. Despite the apparent similarity of all three systemes concerning the non-functional requirement, the important question is whether the concept and test of the requirement are the same in all three systemes, namely trademark, industrial design and copyright? This article, while examining the non-functional requirement in all three systemes, finally with a comparative study of the issue in several countries concludes that according to the theoretical basis of this requirement in all three systemes and their nature, the non-functional requirement has a wider scope in trademark law, and for this reason, it is not possible to provide a uniform test for its determination in all three systemes. At the end, based on the results of examining the issue in different countries, suitable legal solutions for all three systemes, legislating or applying appropriate criteria to determine the requirement, is presented in Iran.
