The article discusses the study of the legal status of collective subjects of scientific activity. The relevance of the research is predetermined by the importance of the qualitative organization of the work of collective subjects of scientific activity in order to achieve the most effective scientific results. The research methodology includes general methods of scientific research – systemic, logical, historical, as well as special methods, including comparative legal and formal legal. The formal legal method makes it possible to analyze the legal terminology on the research topic above. The method of comparative legal research allows us to compare different points of view and highlight the main problems of legal regulation of collective subjects of scientific law. The research includes three main stages: (1) – terminological analysis of the terminology used by the legislator; (2) – critical analysis of the legal definitions proposed by the legislator and the identification of the problems of legal regulation arising in this connection; (3) – comparison of controversial opinions and determination of ways to improve scientific legislation. The main problems identified are the uncertainty in the delimitation of the statuses of related collective subjects of scientific work, as well as the mixing of scientific and educational functions of these organizations. As a result of the study, the authors have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve legislation aimed at regulating the legal status of scientific organizations and other collective subjects of scientific law.

The study examines the category "work of science", identifies the features of a scientific work that determine its protection as an object of domestic copyright law. Due to the facts that scientific development is an important strategic priority of state policy, and scientific activity in Russia is characterized by a large volume of inter-branch legal regulation, the absence of a legal definition of the concept of a work of science in domestic legislation is an omission of the legislator, giving rise to an incorrect doctrinal interpretation of this fundamental category. Based on the analysis of existing legal researches and the formal legal method, it has been established that the characteristics of scientific works as objects of copyright law allow differentiating their legal status from the status of works of literature and art. As a result, the authors have identified the mandatory and optional features of a scientific work, and proposed to amend the law the definition of a work of science, that will reflect all the features of its legal content


The author analyzes the legal status of the organizers of artistic creation, enshrined in the Russian legislation de lege lata, and develops the legal status of the organizer of scientific activities de lege ferenda. It is proposed to consider the organizer of scientific activity as only the head of the temporary scientific team, the purpose of which is to solve a specific scientific problem. A set of elements of the legal structure is formulated, which may be fixed in a normative manner in order to ensure uniformity of legal regulation of the activities of temporary research teams. The status of the organizer of scientific activity is determined on the base of his organizational efforts to guide the creative activities of the team (a distinction is made between the creative and organizational contribution of the head of the scientific team to the overall result). Various options for modeling the legal status of the organizer of scientific activities are discussed: inclusion of the organizer among the co-authors the scientific results obtained by the team; inclusion of the organizer among the co-authors in case if he / she has a creative idea (topic) of academic search; granting the organizer related intellectual rights to the entire result obtained by the team. It is presumed that the organizer of scientific activity is the author of the idea of scientific search for solving the task set for the temporary team. It is concluded that the organizer of scientific activity (the head of the temporary scientific team) must be endowed with related intellectual rights: 1) the exclusive right to use the scientific result obtained by the team as a whole, and 2) the personal non-property right to indicate his name in any use of this result. The author substantiates the content, non-turnover and special validity period of the exclusive right of the organizer of scientific activity.

This article is devoted to the legal problems associated with the provision of patent protection for the results of scientific activities created by artificial intelligence systems. The authors explore the approaches formulated by doctrine and practice in relation to objects created by robotic systems, computer technology and AI. The problem of the relationship between patent protection of the results of scientific (scientific and technical) activities and artificial intelligence systems is becoming more and more urgent. Modern AI systems are quite capable of creating inventions that are the result of the application (use) of the cognitive (thinking) abilities of a person, that is, such inventions can be patentable. There is no doubt that the increasingly active introduction of AI systems will force national legislators to reconsider the definition of the term “inventor.” In Russian legislation, the issue of patent protection of inventions created by AI is currently not resolved. The review of the state of legal regulation of patent protection of the results of scientific activity (first of all, inventions) created by AI systems, presented in the article, indicates the absence of clear rules both in Russian and foreign law (using the example of individual jurisdictions) regarding the determination of the legal status of this kind. objects and the person who has exclusive rights in relation to them. The use of already existing legal constructions by analogy, as well as the borrowing of foreign experience, can only temporarily solve the issue of patent protection of the results of scientific activity created with the help of AI.

The prehistory of the emergence of the idea of developing the adoption as a regulatory legal act of the Government of the Russian Federation of a “road map” for the development of competition in the field of science is investigated. The formation of a West-orientedand West-dependent model of the functioning of Russian science, its transformation into one of the main world suppliers of “scientific raw materials” at a negative price is named as the main objective reason for such a decision.The substitution of real intellectual and economic rivalry between Russian scientific, educational organizations and scientists by the struggle for high rates of publication activity and citation contributes to the development of unfair competition in science and education, the encouragement of already established monopolies in the global markets of scientific results and services of access to scientific information.The theoretical model of the “roadmap” presented in the article can be used to develop by March 1, 2022 in accordance with the decision of the Russian Government (order of September 2, 2021 No. 2424-r) of the official road map "for the development of competitionin the field of science.The problems of competition in the field of science in the theoretical model include, in particular:Monopolization of the world market for the results of scientific activity by a group of economic entities controlled by the countries of the global North;Inconsistency of monitoring rules and criteria for assessing the performance of scientific organizations with the needs of developing real competition between them and all other subjects of scientific activity;Inconsistency of the current normative legal regulation the task of involving in economic competition for access to budgetary resources, which are distributed through public competitive purchases of all categories of subjects of scientific activity (including citizens and temporary research teams that are not legal entities).It is concluded that it is necessary to form a new state policy in the field of science, focused on ensuring the sovereignty of our country, obtaining and using scientific results of a “deep redistribution” within the country, stopping the practice of artificial “mergers and acquisitions” of educational and scientific organizations, encouraging an international scientific cooperation, not cooperation in general.

Russian science is increasingly becoming an applied technological in its character. Hence the list of a prioritized fields of science, active inception of an innovative grant-based principle at Russian Foundation for Basic Research and Russian Science Foundation, technology-oriented segments of a National project "Science", etc. However, it is known that the essence of scientific work is a generation of new knowledge that cannot be quantified. As a result, an extremely dangerous substitution of concepts occurs: “the quality of new knowledge” is replaced by the “quality of fulfilling the state grants”, which is determined by the number of published articles and the journal's impact factor. Accordingly, the system of stimulating scientific activity in scientific organizations of Russia is focused on the growth of publication activity of scientific employees. Economic models are known in game theory, which are allows different strategies of players and allow in the current situation to build a balanced research stimulation system in a separate institute that pursues two clearly defined and different goals - obtaining fundamental scientific results and fulfilling publicationindicators according to the state grants.

Theoretical and applied research of the features of the legal status of the subjects of civil law remains debatable today. Doctrinal and legislative analysis of this subject points to unresolved issues in this area. In particular, the provision on defining the state as a party to civil law remains controversial. There is no consensus on the definition of individuals and legal entities as subjects of civil law among scholars. Furthermore, the legal regulation of certain types of entities is somewhat unsystematic and chaotic. This is largely due to the insufficient development of theoretical issues related to the subjects of civil law. The above issues determine the relevance of the study of the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law based on doctrinal and legislative analysis. The study is based on a systematic approach, which lies in studying a complex system of relationships between subjects of civil law. Furthermore, the study is based on the laws and principles of dialectics, which contribute to the study of the legal status of the subjects of civil law. Systemic and structural-functional analysis was used to comprehensively describe the legal status of subjects of civil law. The historical method contributed to the study of the evolution of research on the subjects of civil law. The formal legal method helped identify the special features of the provisions of regulations concerning the subjects of civil law. With the help of the comparative legal method, the study analysed the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine in terms of regulation of subjects of civil law and such regulation was compared with other countries. The study defined the concepts and types of subjects of civil law and considered the features of the legal status of individuals, legal entities, as well as the state as a special participant of civil law. Special attention was paid to the historical analysis of the development of approaches to the definition of subjects of law, starting with Roman law

This article examines the stages of the electoral process based on the legislation of Ukraine on elections since the proclamation of independent Ukraine until now. Considerable attention is paid to the disclosure of the concept of "electoral process", since democracy and the legitimacy of the entire system of public authorities depend to the electoral democracy. On the basis of various points of view of scientists, scholars of lawyers it can be concluded that the electoral process as a legal category is an independent legal institution of constitutional law, which should be understood as a set of constitutional and procedural norms governing the formation of representative bodies of the state and other elected bodies of state power and bodies of local self-government, election of state officials. The issue of the legislative support of the electoral process in Ukraine, the problem of the formation of a system of electoral legislation in Ukraine on the basis of which the electoral process takes place - elections of the President of Ukraine, people's deputies of Ukraine, deputies of local councils and village, town and city mayors. Adequate reflection of the will of the citizens on the formation of a system of government, the creation of conditions for free and deliberate expression of will require not only the legislative consolidation of the principles of free and fair elections, but also detailed legal regulation of procedures for conducting an election campaign, determination of the status of the subjects of the electoral process, their rights and obligations defining the results of elections, etc. The necessity of formation and establishment of a stable electoral culture of voters and the stability of electoral legislation for ensuring the proper realization of the electoral rights of Ukrainian citizens is indicated. However, the main problem is not so much in adopting laws that would comply with generally accepted democratic principles, but in ensuring compliance with these principles in practice, which does not always lie in the field of legislative regulation. In order to ensure legality in the process of organizing and holding elections, the functioning and interaction of all branches of state power, local self-government bodies and public associations must be agreed upon.
