The present study aims to examine the possible legal protections for paintings used in architecture. The research method is descriptive-analytical, utilizing library resources. The findings indicate that legal protections for paintings incorporated into architecture, as part of artistic and creative works, benefit from multiple legal capacities in both Iranian and international law. These protections include copyright, patent rights, neighboring rights, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. Copyright protects paintings used in architecture as an element of artistic creativity by granting the creator exclusive rights through registration and legal guarantees. In cases where a specific innovation or technology plays a role in the creation or execution of paintings, patent protection may also be applicable. Neighboring rights can be used to safeguard the rights of performers or individuals involved in the reproduction or execution of these paintings. Moreover, artificial intelligence, with capabilities such as identification, registration, monitoring, and even the creation of new works, facilitates better management of intellectual property rights. In advanced legal systems, artificial intelligence can be employed for digital registration of works, detection of copyright infringements, and enforcement of intellectual property rights in international projects. In summary, integrating these legal capacities within Iranian and global legal systems can ensure comprehensive protection of architectural paintings and provide support for artists, architects, and stakeholders of such works. However, the adaptation and revision of existing laws are necessary to address emerging challenges.</p> https://journalisslp.com/index.php/isslp/article/download/290/419
