Patent registration and its commercialization are considered important components in measuring economic growth based on knowledge and technology. Registering an innovation in the form of patent, especially if carried out by companies, creates broader opportunities for strategic decision-making regarding its commercialization and utilization, However, in Iran, the share of companies in granted patents remains below 10 percent, and estimates suggest that the rate of commercialization among registered patents is likely under 1 percent. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing inductive thematic analysis, to explore why Iranian firms and economic enterprises have not played an active role in patenting and commercialization, despite their potential capacity. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, focusing on knowledge-based firms, non-knowledge-based Companies, technology brokers, and facilitators. The analysis yielded nine organizing themes, which were consolidated into three overarching categories: intra-organizational challenges, competitive advantage and market environment, and legal and executive infrastructures. The findings highlight several barriers. Intra-organizational challenges—including prevailing attitudes toward intellectual property, the complexity of patenting processes, associated costs, and structural requirements, often deprioritize patenting and commercialization within firms. The competitive and market environment in Iran also fails to provide sufficient incentives for industrial firms to pursue patents, while simultaneously offering limited support for knowledge-based companies. Moreover, existing legal and institutional commercialization, resulting in inadequate guarantees for safeguarding rights and encouraging exploitation. Consequently, firms often lack both the trust and the capacity necessary for successful patent registration and commercialization. To address these challenges, several measures are essential. First, sustained policies promoting education, awareness, and cultural recognition of intellectual property value must be advanced. Equally important is the establishment and effective enforcement of a robust intellectual property rights system through comprehensive legislation. Continued efforts to support patent commercialization—particularly by alleviating the challenges faced by knowledge-based firms—remain critical. Policy tools such as offering tax incentives to large companies investing in the commercialization of smaller firms’ patents, leveraging the expertise of knowledge and technology brokers, and raising technological standards within industries can encourage industrial firms to upgrade production lines, foster innovation, and actively engage in patent commercialization.
