Jordan is a party to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).

Jordan has a copyright regime under Law No. 22/1992, which was last amended by Law No. 9/2005 on Copyright Protection. However, the exceptions do not follow the fair use or fair dealing model, therefore limiting the lawful use of copyrighted work by others. Art. 17 lists the exceptions, which include presenting for educational purposes; employing the work for private personal use; relying on the work for illustration in education; among others

Although Jordan has made strides in providing more comprehensive protection of intellectual property (IP) rights, significant challenges regarding IP protection and enforcement continue to persist. Reports indicate that both physical and online copyright infringement remain widespread, with a notable proportion of videos and software sold in the marketplace being pirated. Many retail outlets openly sell television set-top boxes that facilitate access to pirated content. The National Library, as the leading IP authority in Jordan, has acknowledged difficulties in combating these infringements, citing a lack of adequate resources.

Jordan has ratified the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Copyright Treaty.

Jordan has ratified the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Performances and Phonograms Treaty.
