Abstract

This article analyzes the concept and system of protection of the interests of intellectual property subjects under Ukrainian legislation. The system of normative and legal acts regulating the protection of intellectual property subjects’ interests is outlined. A thorough analysis is provided of the content of the protection of intellectual property subjects’ interests, both in broad and narrow terms.

The aim of the work. The aim of this article is to analyze the system for the protection of the interests of intellectual property subjects and identify the existing problems within this system, as well as propose solutions to address them. Achieving this goal requires an examination of the concept and peculiarities of the “protection” of the interests of intellectual property subjects, distinguishing it from the protection of industrial property rights, and identifying the existing issues in this domain.

Methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical materials, from which appropriate conclusions and recommendations are derived. The research methodology includes: terminological, dialectical, logical-semantic, logical-normative, and system-structural methods.

Results. The study defines the concept of “protection of the interests of intellectual property subjects.” It is demonstrated that the protection of intellectual property interests in Ukrainian civil law represents a distinct legal model that combines elements of both positive regulation (state guarantees, legal recognition) and preventive regulation (registration, monitoring, contractual regulation, control), along with procedural protection mechanisms.

Conclusions. Ensuring a balanced consideration of the identified rights and interests through legal means in civil legislation will enhance the legal mechanism for protecting the interests of intellectual property subjects, preventing a significant number of conflicts, and ensuring the effective and fair resolution of disputes among civil law participants. The peculiarities of the mechanism for the protection of the interests of intellectual property subjects are determined by the specific nature of the area in which these interests and rights are exercised.
