This study tackles the extent of clash between a fundamental human right, which is the right of freedom of expression on the one hand, and the right of private property in intellectual works and trademarks. This thesis argues that the right of freedom of expression should supersede intellectual property rights for a variety of considerations, mainly because the existence of intellectual property rights depends on the public, whose contribution from the main reason of intellectual works and trademarks existence, as shall be seen in this thesis. Moreover, the over protection of intellectual property rights to the detriment of the right of freedom of expression would inevitably harm the public interest. This thesis proves the merit of the hypothesis that right of freedom of expression supersedes the intellectual works and trademarks by analysing the theoretical framework regulating the right of property.
