Abstract
Multimedia works are conceived as the newest technological products in recent decades and because of their high innovation and resourcefulness, they have had the ability to capture international markets in a short time. Such works that stem from intellectual efforts of human being is certainly protected by intellectual property law, however the main issue is to determine a legal regime for the protection of these works. Adopting a comparative approach, this article is to firstly specify the legal and technical nature of such new works and the factors caused them to be separated from other existing intellectual works and secondly to investigate the process of protecting multimedia works to be finally discerned whether or not there is the possibility to protect multimedia works based on current intellectual property laws in different countries.
