These two studies are different from the research that researchers carried out.

The fundamental question in this research is how Waqf IPR is if analyzed using the Maqhosid Syaria theory.
This article discusses the implementation of IPR waqf in the urban society of Medan City.
Indonesia, through the lens of Maqasid Shariah.
Methods This research used a qualitative approach to understand social phenomena and processes in implementing Intellectual Property Rights Waqf in Medan urban The qualitative approach allows researchers to gain deep insight into people's views, attitudes, and understanding of waqf and intellectual property rights.

In-depth interviews will help understand their perspectives and views towards implementing Intellectual Property Rights Waqf in Medan urban communities Findings and Discussion Findings Implementation of IPR as Waqf Assets in the Urban Society of Medan In the early development, copyright, such as fabricating books or books created by someone who was an intellectual creation of scholars, was seen as a social charity for good in teaching and developing religious knowledge that was tabarru'at as charity to get rewards that continued to flow even after death.
However, in subsequent developments following the level of human life, it becomes a right that must be protected so that copyright holders deserve respect and respect (Shiddiq, 2.

When the IPR holder has not been registered, he already has the right to maintain, maintain, and protect his honor to control, and others are haram to damage and commit cruelty to their rights (Munir.
However, when dealing with the rule of law, it has not been recognized as a right because it has not been registered.
Such is the case with a person who has entered into a legal marriage according to Islamic law but does not have a marriage certificate because his marriage was not registered at the registry office (District Religious Affairs Offic.
If analogous to IPR rights holders, the IPR registration and recording procedure system stipulated in laws and regulations is considered unresponsive to Islamic Jurisprudence studies.
Any form of violation of IPR, including but not limited to using, disclosing, making, using, selling, importing and exporting, distributing, handing over, providing, announcing, reproducing, creating, falsifying, hijacking.
IPR belonging to others without rights is tyranny and the law is haram.
The registration process for Waqf with IPR objects is similar to other types of Waqf, with one additional requirement for the waqif .

(Saad et al.
, 2.
The waqif must provide proof of IPR registration from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights as evidence of ownership to be endowed (Lubis, 2.
This administrative requirement is essential for creating the Akta Ikrar Wakaf (Deed of Endowmen.
, as it must include the IPR registration letter as the waqf object.
However, in practice, the implementation of IPR waqf faces challenges due to the Lack of clear regulations, which serve as guidelines for the officials responsible for creating the Akta Ikrar Wakaf (AIW).
Detailed technical regulations and implementation guidelines are needed to provide clear directions for the successful execution of IPR waqf.
Currently, the regulations for waqf implementation mainly focus on immovable assets such as land and buildings and movable assets in the form of money, while limited attention has been given to Waqf with IPR objects (Jaenab et al.
, 2.
The legal basis for Waqf with IPR objects is regulated in the Waqf Law number 41 of 2004 and Government Regulation number 42 of 2006 concerning implementing the Waqf Law.
Registering Waqf with IPR objects is almost the same as registering other Waqf.
However, there is one requirement that must be met by wakif, which must be accompanied by proof of IPR registration from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (Dirjen KI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights as proof of ownership of IPR to be Waqf.
This requirement is an administrative requirement that must be met in making the Waqf Pledge Deed (AIW) because in AIW, an IPR registration letter must be included as a waqf object (Baharuddin, 2.
However, in reality, implementing IPR waqf is still difficult to implement in Medan City.
This is due to the absence of clearer implementing regulations on Waqf with IPR objects.
As a result, the Waqf Pledge Deed Making Officer (PPAIW) has difficulty using explicit references in making AIW.
Therefore, detailed implementation instructions are needed to provide clear guidelines for the implementation of Waqf with IPR objects (Habibah, 2020.
Currently, technical arrangements for implementing Waqf are still limited to Waqf with objects in the form of land, buildings, and money.
This problem needs to be overcome so that the people of Medan City Urban can take Implementation Of Intellectual Property Rights full advantage of the concept of Waqf with IPR objects.
The application of IPR waqf in urban communities in Medan City has various First, promote local innovation.
By endorsing IPR, inventions and innovative works can be protected by Sharia law and remain the property of Muslims (Hidayati.
This encourages the improvement of innovation culture among the urban community of Medan City.
Second, improving people's welfare.
With the utilization of IPR through Waqf, the community can take advantage of income from exclusive rights owned by IPR waqf to support community economic empowerment.
Third, strengthen local cultural identity.
In utilizing IPR waqf, the community will continue to develop local culture and traditions that are Waqf, so they can be maintained and passed on to future generations.
However, there are several challenges in implementing IPR waqf in urban communities in Medan City.
First, there is a lack of public awareness of the importance of IPR endowments.
Most people still do not understand the concept and benefits of IPR waqf, making it difficult to obtain significant participation.
Second, the weak infrastructure and institution of IPR waqf in Medan City.
Policies are needed to support establishing institutions and infrastructure that provide facilities and protection for IPR endowments.
Third, there is an expansion of public views and understanding of Sharia Maqasidu as the basis for implementing IPR waqf.
With a good understanding of Maqasidu Sharia, people can see the benefits and urgency of implementing IPR waqf daily.
In overcoming these challenges, local governments must pay serious attention to promoting the concept of IPR waqf through extension campaigns and supportive It is important to involve all stakeholders, including authorities.
NGOs, the IPR development community, and the general public, in drafting clear and comprehensive implementation guidelines.
In addition, active participation from scholars and religious leaders is also needed to provide understanding and direction to the public about the concept of IPR waqf.
In conclusion, the application of IPR waqf in urban communities in Medan City has great potential.
However, several obstacles still need to be overcome so that IPR waqf can provide maximum benefits to the Clearer regulations and implementation guidelines are needed and efforts to increase public awareness about the importance of IPR endowments.

Based on the results of research conducted through interviews with resource persons, namely the Indonesian Waqf Board of North Sumatra Representative (BWI Sumu.
, basically, the procedure for transferring IPR as an object of Waqf is to follow the procedure for registering waqf property as stipulated in the Waqf Law and PP 42 of 2006 concerning the implementation of the Waqf Law (Niswah, 2.
However, in practice, the speakers argued that the procedure for registering Waqf with IPR objects is almost the same as other waqf objects.
However, if the IPR is entrusted, there is one condition that must be met by wAkif, which must be accompanied by proof of IPR registration from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (Dirjen KI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, as proof of ownership of IPR to be Waqf.
This requirement is an administrative requirement that must be met in making a waqf pledge deed (AIW), because in AIW an IPR registration letter must be included as a waqf object.

Lack of specific regulations and guidelines One of the main challenges in implementing IPR waqf in Medan City City is the absence of specific regulations and guidelines.
Without clear legal frameworks, ensuring proper valuation, management, and distribution of the proceeds from IPR waqf becomes difficult.
This Lack of clarity can undermine the effectiveness and transparency of the waqf system, leading to potential disputes and mismanagement.
The Lack of specific regulations and guidelines about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) waqf in Medan City poses a significant obstacle to its successful implementation.
As an ancient Islamic philanthropic institution.
Waqf has historically focused on tangible assets such as land, buildings, and money (Fikri & Noor, 2.
However, with the emergence of intellectual property as a valuable asset in the modern economy, the need for appropriate regulations to govern IPR waqf has become apparent.
Valuation of Intellectual Property Rights: One of the key challenges in IPR waqf is determining the value of the intellectual property being endowed.
Unlike tangible assets, which often have established market values, the valuation of intangible assets can be complex and subjective.
There is a lack of standardized methods for evaluating copyrights, patents, trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property.

Distribution of Proceeds: The distribution of proceeds generated from IPR waqf assets must adhere to Islamic principles and the objectives of Maqasid Shariah.
However, the absence of specific regulations may lead to ambiguity regarding the allocation of funds.
Determining whether the revenue should be reinvested in the waqf project, distributed among beneficiaries, or used for other charitable purposes requires clear guidelines that align with Islamic ethical principles.
Legal Recognition and Protection: While IPR holders are entitled to legal recognition and protection of their intellectual creations, endowing IPR as waqf assets might face legal challenges in the absence of specific regulations.
Ensuring that IPR waqf assets are legally protected and recognized as charitable endowments is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the waqf system and protecting the rights of all stakeholders involved.
Public Awareness and Participation: Implementing IPR waqf effectively requires the active participation and support of the public.
However, the Lack of specific regulations and guidelines might lead to a lack of awareness and understanding among potential donors and beneficiaries.
To encourage public participation in IPR waqf initiatives, there is a need for clear and accessible information about the processes involved, the potential benefits, and the legal implications.
To overcome these challenges.
Medan Citythe relevant authorities, religious scholars, legal experts, and philanthropic organizations in Medan City need to collaborate and develop comprehensive regulations and guidelines for IPR waqf.

IPR waqf can become a powerful instrument for sustainable development, social justice, and economic well-being in the urban society of Medan City.
