In order to protect these achievements, intellectual property rights in international technological cooperation as well as collaborative research projects between the private and public sectors, especially in the field of patents, have become twofold important. Intellectual property plays an essential role in promoting this type of collaboration between the university, industry and government and plays a complementary role in technology development. But a look at Iran's intellectual property policies in joint research projects and consortiums in the past shows that there is no coherent and complete framework for intellectual property arising from these collaborations, so the main purpose of this study is to examine the role of intellectual property rights in joint research projects and consortiums and political advice to those involved. This research is a review of the literature and uses a library methodology and in-depth study of available literature and articles and internal and external books on intellectual property and joint research projects, and specifically on model agreements in the Consortium of Europe and the United Kingdom, and finally a model agreement has been proposed to managers and policy makers active in the field of science and technology development in Iran, given that such agreements are less visible.

Researchers have recently examined some models for supplier selection, with less attention to the determination of collaboration pattern with selected partners. Despite much research on the types of collaboration models, their features, requirements and achievements, providing a comprehensive and uppropriate model for selecting the most appropriate type of relationship between the two partner organizations has not been sufficiently considered. Generally, supplier-buyer collaboration patterns include outsourcing, strategic alliance, joint investment and ownership. The purpose of this research is to design a model that determines the appropriate collaboration model according to the product characteristics, business conditions and goals of the organization. The model uses profit, opportunity, cost and risk structure, which is a comprehensive and useful model for strategic decisions. In this research, the choice of collaboration model between two partner organizations is investigated in order to design radar components. By library study and interviewing with the experts of the Iranian Defense Industry Organization, the factors influencing the selection of the appropriate cooperation model for the relationship between the two partner organizations were identified and prioritized. A Hierarchical Analysis Process Model (AHP) is designed to prioritize the relevant criteria and sub-criteria. Pairwise comparisons were made according to the experts' opinion and the results were analyzed using SuperDisign software. Manuscript profile -

IoT focuses on the communication of things such as sensors, drivers, devices, etc., with data collection capability controlling remote communication rather than focusing on the communication between people. Development of smart solutions and new technologies of IoT in agriculture can pave the way to a new paradigm of farming called “Smart Agriculture” by making a fundamental change in all aspects of current practices. IoT-based Smart Agriculture can improve agricultural productivity with more food production through the optimal utilization of the basic resources, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing the costs, and increasing the incomes with linking to the business market that facilitates sustainable agricultural development goals. IoT-based data is a collection of large data called “Big Data” that cannot be processed and managed by traditional databases and conventional management tools. IoT and Big Data technologies are interconnected and it can be predicted that the future of optimal agriculture in the world would not be possible to meet the food demand and sustainability of production without these technologies and Smart Agriculture. This article introduces IoT and Big Data technologies, as well as the relationship between them from the vision of Smart Agriculture. Moreover, the article aims to assist in the decision-making of the strategy from the pre-production stage to the business marketing in the country by assessing life cycle and technology trends. Some of the big IoT data applications in the Smart Agriculture cycle are also introduced. Manuscript profile
