<![CDATA[Copyright and royalty are critical aspects of the publishing industry, relating to the protection of intellectual works and the fulfillment of authors' economic rights. In Islamic jurisprudence, the protection of intellectual works is recognized through the concept of Haqq al-Ibtikar, which refers to the right of ownership over one's creative and intellectual output that possesses beneficial and economic value. This study aims to analyze the copyright system, royalty mechanisms, publishing cooperation agreements, and the conformity of publishing practices at Persada Press with the concept of Haqq al-Ibtikar in fiqh muamalah. A qualitative descriptive case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the printing manager, editors, finance staff, and authors, supported by observation, documentation, and library research. Data validity was tested through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing stages. The results show that the copyright system at Persada Press places the author as the primary owner of intellectual works, while the printing party only obtains printing rights under a cooperation contract. Royalties are given at 10–15% of the net book sale price based on books sold, though general publishing services for external authors have not been fully opened due to the press being in a developmental stage. The form of publishing cooperation bears characteristics of an ijarah contract involving the use of printing services for agreed compensation. From the perspective of fiqh muamalah, the practice is generally consistent with the concepts of Haqq al-Ibtikar, huquq maliyyah, and the principles of maqashid syariah, particularly hifz al-mal and hifz al-'aql.]]>
