One of the infrastructures that can guarantee the economic and technological success of researchers and knowledge-based companies in the knowledge-oriented era is paying attention to “industrial property”. The lack of an effective industrial property policy for researchers and knowledge-based companies will be a serious threat. On the other hand, its existence will be a great opportunity. This research is considered a qualitative -development study and its methodology is Grounded Theory. It used the targeted sampling of the participants with the maximum difference. The necessary data and information were obtained from the documents, library sources and semi-structured interviews. For this purpose, 13 experts, professors, and experts with sufficient knowledge and practical experience were interviewed and the semi-structured method based on Atlas.ti software was used to collect the necessary research data. In total, the concepts extracted from the interviews were categorized into 850 primary codes and 6 main themes. After analyzing the text of the interviews, the quality and tools of the policy, the capabilities of the executives, the executive organization, as well as the results and consequences of the implementation were identified as the main dimensions and the final model was developed. The findings of the research show that 15 categories including 175 criteria are effective in evaluating the successful implementation of the policy, its results and consequences, and a proper understanding of the extracted criteria and their application in a valid evaluation system improves the efficiency and effectiveness of industrial property activities.
