Genetic Structures

At the present stage of the formation of the rule of law and developed civil society in the Russian Federation, the possibility of using and protecting genes, genomes and genomic technologies, mainly related to the sphere of private life, becomes particularly relevant. The world has already formed a scientific direction — gene editing. The practice of implementation of such developments is aimed at the implementation of genetic «improvement» of a person, his life and health. Society has existed for a long time in the era of genetic engineering. Currently, quite a large number of scientific studies are being conducted and many practical experiments are being implemented, both medical and socio-legal, aimed at involving genes and genetic structures in the framework of the legal field, in civil circulation.A particularly large number of questions and practical problems arise in determining the possibility of including genes and genomes as objects of legal relations and their definition as objects of civil rights.Debatable is the question of the turnover of genes, genomes, genetic structures and the possibility of making various civil transactions with them, the entry of subjects (participants) of genomic technologies in the binding and proprietary relationships with genes. The possibility of inclusion of genes and genomes in the objects of intellectual property rights and ensure their patent protection, the establishment of legal protective procedures is proved.There is an objective need to qualify and determine the legal nature of genes and genomes as objects of civil rights and the establishment of a special civil regime of genes, genomes and genetic structures. This special civil law regime of genes has a civil law nature. The author’s definition of a special civil-law regime of genes as objects of civil rights is proposed, the features and content of this regime are determined. The possibility of regulatory and legal regulation of genomic studies and the implementation of their results in medical practice is proved.

Law Regulation

Introduction: the article deals with some basic legal issues that arise from the use of human genetic information. There exist some issues of defining the legal nature of such information, which we identify in the article. Current legal regulation is not able to take into account the peculiarities of genetic information and provide an effective protection against the misappropriation and improper use of genetic information when carrying out genetic diagnostics, working with biomaterials. At the moment, special public law and civil law regulation of the procedure for obtaining, accumulating, processing, accessing, and protecting genetic information is required. Purpose: to develop a conception of the legal nature of genetic information, to identify the issues in the field of civil rights protection when using genetic information, to propose possible ways of resolving those, which is done in the article based on the analysis of scientific works as well as international and Russian legislation. Methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic method and the method of interpretation of legal norms. Results: in order to overcome the issues associated with the use of genetic information, it is necessary to develop an effective system of legal guarantees aimed at ensuring respect for human dignity, protecting rights and interests of an individual, protecting their genetic information in order to prevent possible harm from its improper use. Conclusion: in order to prevent the threat of illegal use of genetic information and violation of human rights, the government must take a number of important measures and introduce amendments and supplements into the statutory regulations: genetic information of an individual must acquire a special legal status, namely, it must be set apart from the group of personal biometric information and form an independent type of personal data with restricted access based on the kinship (blood) relationship between third parties and the carrier of such information; it is important to bring the provisions of civil legislation into line with the Law on Personal Data; it is necessary to legislatively specify the regime of the use and preservation of genetic information obtained as a result of gene diagnostics and to provide the legal framework for the activities of biobanks. Such amendments and supplements would make it possible to form a unified system of ways of genetic information protection as a right in combination with the norms on the protection of private life.

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 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 article is devoted to the study of the experience of legal regulation of the legal status of cryptocurrencies and transactions with them in Asian countries (except for the People's Republic of China and Asian countries - members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, as the author examined them in separate publications). In the article the author, based on the study of regulations, administrative and judicial practice of all major countries in this part of the world, emphasizes the divergent trends in cryptocurrency transactions regulation in the region, when some countries move from a liberal approach to the use of cryptocurrencies to their total ban and vice versa. It is noted that almost all countries in the region give a legal assessment of the payment function of cryptocurrencies, using regulatory or prohibitive approaches, depending on the chosen policy, which indirectly confirms their understanding of the legal nature of cryptocurrencies primarily as a means of payment. At the same time, these countries not only categorically distinguish cryptocurrencies from fiat money issued by central banks, but also mostly avoid the official definition of cryptocurrency as private (decentralized) cash, preferring to qualify them as an intangible asset, virtual asset, digital asset, financial value and even a good or service, which is currently a kind of compromise between political expediency and economic realities. The author also notes that the Asian region is characterized by very active attempts to resolve the legal status of cryptocurrencies at the legislative level, and not just administrative or judicial response to the actual legal relationship, although the progress of different countries in this matter is different. As a result, the author concludes that in the Asian countries considered in the article, there is no same view on the legal nature of cryptocurrency, its qualification as an object of civil rights, and ways to regulate transactions with it (libertarian approach, positive-cryptocurrency approach but with detailed government regulation and control or a completely restrictive policy in relation to the cryptocurrency market).

The article examines the features of the essence and content of the constitutional principles of human rights as a basis for legalregulation of biomedical research of somatic human rights. The author reveals the essence and content of international and nationallegal principles of human biomedical research. It was found that there are currently no standards of legal regulation of human rightsprotection during biomedical research at the national level and at the level of international acts in this field. It is pointed out that theissue of human and civil rights and freedoms in the conditions of formation and development of civil society in democratic states occupiesa central place. It is established that the effective provision of constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen is associatedwith the need for restrictions in their implementation. It is determined that it is of fundamental importance that the attitude to law, tohuman rights and freedoms for the Ukrainian legal consciousness is impossible only through the awareness of a certain moral ideal asa goal in one’s own life. Therefore, any legal problem for the Ukrainian mentality is inextricably linked with the values of goodnessand justice, truth and humanity.It is noted that the approaches to the definition of “freedom” have both common and different features or certain clarificationsregarding certain manifestations. Without resorting to controversy about the truth or falsity of each of them, by generalizing their content,we can conclude that freedom, on the one hand, is an action according to their own desires, on the other - an action against them.The limits of permissible intervention in conducting biomedical research with human participation have been studied, as well asthe ethical examination of biomedical research as a way to protect human rights has been determined.

The article is devoted to the study of such an important area of civil law as civil liability. The scientific article examines the definition of "civil liability". It is emphasized that civil liability consists of many aspects, including a sanction, a new obligation, the replacement of an unfulfilled obligation with a new one, and so on. It is supported the position that the application of civil liability is voluntary, but the possibility of using jurisdictional forms of liability is not excluded. The authors of the article agree with the approach proposed in the doctrine on the expediency of the transition to the so-called behavioral concept of guilt. The importance of the theoretical demarcation of the institution of ensuring the fulfillment of obligations and measures of civil liability is emphasized. The possibility of simultaneous application of different forms of civil liability is allowed. It is argued that it is appropriate to change the approach to determining and compensating of non-pecuniary damage. It is needed because compensation for non-pecuniary damage depends on the violation of a person's civil right, and not on the envisaged possibility of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in law or contract. The authors of the article positively perceive the position on the need for consolidate the provisions on the civil nature of the liability of officials of corporations.  It is focused on the need to consolidate the subsidiary liability of members of limited liability companies in the event of bringing the failure through their fault. The position to the prospects of further scientific research in the field of responsibility of autonomous robots and artificial intelligence is expressed. It is concluded that due to the multi-vector nature of the concept of "civil liability" there is a need for further meticulous attention of the scientific community to the institution of private liability. In particular, it is necessary to develop qualitative criteria for distinguishing between the institution of abuse of subjective civil rights and the institution of civil liability; research of the peculiarities of the responsibility of such legal entities as owners of significant participation in corporations, supervisors of banking groups and other specific entities, etc.

In this article the author considers the concept of restriction of individual rights in civil law, as well as the re-lationship between the concepts of restriction and encumbrance of civil rights. First of all, the lack of a legislative definition of the concept of restriction of individual rights in civil law, as well as the ambiguity of the position of the legislator on the use of the term restriction and its place among related conceptsIn writing this work, first of all, attention was paid to the Constitution of Ukraine, which is the Basic Law, which serves as a guide that establishes the general boundaries of human and civil rights. The connection of the provisions of the Constitution with the norms of the Civil Code of Ukraine within the framework of the chosen topic was presented. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principle according to which the national legal system is built, namely: “everything is allowed that is not expressly prohibited by law.”The views of some scholars who adhere to their vision of the concepts under study are given. In addition, in this study, the relationship between the concepts of restriction and encumbrance of individual rights in civil law. In the process of writing this work, the positions of legal scholars who had relatively similar positions were given. They distinguish between the above concepts, and provide the relevant features. However, outside the scope of this study were many works of scientists who do not see a difference in these concepts.None of this was left out of the regulatory framework for the definition of the above concepts at the legislative level. In particular, it was found that in contrast to the concept of restriction of individual rights, including in civil law, the current legislation contains a definition of encumbrance. There are several acts that provide this definition. And in all cases, the definition is different.Based on the analysis of regulations, it was found that the legislator does not consistently approach the definition of encumbrance. In particular, in some cases the latter includes the encumbrancer’s right to the debtor’s movable property or restriction of such right, in others - prohibition or restriction of disposal and / or use of real estate, and in some cases the legislator identifies encumbrances and restrictions.According to the results of the study, the conclusions on the failure to define in national law the concept of re-strictions on the rights of persons in civil law, as well as the lack of a clear distinction between the concept of restric-tion of the right of person and encumbrance, in particular under civil law. There is a position on the need for further research on relevant topics, which will ensure clarity and clarity of the law, and promote its effective application, as well as consensus on this issue among scholars.

Public Contract

The civil legislation reform affects the provisions on public contracts. This article deals with the issues surrounding public contract qualification under the conditions of modern regulation. A characteristic feature of modern regulation and theoretical provisions of civil law is the lack of unified approaches to defining the public contract concept, its essence, and accompanying conditions. In practice, there are various situations wherein the legislator does not give clear instructions on certain aspects of contracts that have a public character. This determines the theoretical and practical relevance of examining this area. The article analyzes the main defining features of the designated contractual structure and examines the features of expression of public-legal principles in legal regulation in these contractual relations. The methodological basis of the research is the analysis of normative material, civil law theory and certain aspects of law enforcement on public contracts norms. The article highlights the legal and conceptual aspects of public contract institution in the context of modern legal regulation. The task of further research on this issue is not so much to find one correct definition of this agreement for the legislator, but rather to fix the individualizing features in the law, by integrating them either into the conceptual apparatus or by directly fixing them in the normative act text. The author attempts to systematize the relevant features and to identify the distinct principles for differentiating a public contract with the related contractual structures. The article also presents clear criteria for differentiation and the hierarchy of the application of certain rules to relations arising from a public contract. This paper concludes by highlighting the need to proceed not only from the definition of law, but also from specific features of a public contract, when identifying the designated contractual structure.

Theoretical Issues

The author demonstrates that subjective rights are a precondition and the main object of legal regulation of public relations. Subjective rights are not a preference or a zone of exclusive competence of the civil law, but an object of comprehensive inter-branch legal regulation in any legal order. The author focuses on subjective civil rights and their classification into absolute and relative ones. The article considers and analyses the doctrine of absolute and relative subjective rights which dominates in the Russian and foreign jurisprudence. The author proves impossibility and groundlessness of differentiation of absolute and relative rights by the number of subjects liable, analyses general passive legal obligation, and substantiates its public rather than civil-law nature. In conclusion the author suggests his vision and understanding of absolute and relative subjective rights.
