The International Standard Book Number or ISNB is a number given to a book and often placed on the back cover to protect the book from the plagiarism & quotation. It guarantees the copyright for the author & the publisher because this number is unrepeated ever like the fingerprint!
By ISNB, you can verify your intellectual property, if someone plagiarized your ideas.

Great that you've introduced this excellent system which deals with preserving the intellectual property and cataloging in electronic archives for various issues like: identifying the publisher, sales, etc.
It was 10-digits till the end of December 2006. As of 1-January-2007, it became 13-digits. Moreover, Egypt's range is 977- and 978- with sub-ranges as appears in the image in your post.
