Digital block technology is one of the most important developments in information technology and digital data. The emergence of this technology had a major impact on electronic transactions in the field of digital and virtual money circulation. This role then developed to enter the field of intellectual property rights, by relying on the digital block chain in managing, documenting, proving and protecting intellectual property rights. This overlap affected the content of exploiting these rights on the one hand and the nature of their practice on the other hand, which necessitates research into the nature of these blocks in the field of intellectual property and the extent to which copyright rules apply to them. Modern technologies suffer from the problem of the lack of a legislative organization that defines their legal nature and clarifies their effects. Among these technologies is the digital block technology, which lacks a legislative presence despite its importance in various fields, the most important of which is the field of intellectual property. Therefore, legislative efforts are trying to keep up with the development process by amending existing legal rules and enacting new legislation aimed at keeping pace with these vast leaps in the field of technologies and electronic production of information. Accordingly, the current accelerating situation leads us to search for the adequacy of current legislative texts, analyze them, search for shortcomings in them, and reformulate them in a way that constitutes an effective treatment for these technologies.
