Balance Of Interests

The paper deals with the problems of entering the market of generic drugs in the light of protecting the interests of copyright holder-originators. It is emphasized that the main method of protection lies in the area of intellectual rights. The protection of patent rights by companies that are copyright holders of innovative medicines comes out on top. Attention is drawn to issues related to the data exclusivity regime that are especially important in the context of establishing a balance of interests not only between the copyright holders of original medicines and generic manufacturing companies, but also between representatives of the medical community. The paper considers individual rules of special normative legal acts regulating relations related to the circulation of medicines in Russia and abroad. The author draws attention to the fact that there is some terminological ambiguity, which creates difficulties in the implementation of legal regulation. Possible restrictions on the rights of companies that put into circulation generic medicines should act as a certain guarantor in the implementation of the proper legal mechanisms for the protection of the results of intellectual activity in the pharmaceutical sector and contribute to the stimulation of innovation.

The paper is devoted to the issues associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in intellectual property objects, in particular vaccines, in the context of fight against a pandemic. It is emphasized that AI technologies allow us to overcome similar problems at the national and international levels and to prevent their recurrence in the future. The author highlights that the most important requirements for observance of constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens consolidated in regulatory acts and impossibility of their restriction in AI technologies must be supplemented with clear rules regulating the legal framework of artificial intelligence, including intellectual activity, and responsibility of developers and AI users. At the same time, the AI legal personality also needs to be thoroughly elaborated with the focus on providing a reasonable balance of rights, responsibilities and eligibility among developers, AI users, and other addressees entering into legal relationships involving artificial intelligence. A key aspect in the context of the legal regulation of the results of intellectual activity created entirely or partially by artificial intelligence is represented by the balance between the interests of rights holders and the public interests. Possible restrictions of rights of copyright holders as established in international instruments (Para 31 of the 1994 Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) should be accepted as a harmonizing basis and adopted in national legal systems. At the same time, rights holders must be provided with appropriate guarantees of respect for their rights (In particular, the non-exclusive nature of the use of intellectual rights in the context of such restrictions, payment of reasonable remuneration, etc.).

In the last few decades, issues related to the legal regulation of genetic research and the legal regime of genetic information derived from it have become particularly relevant both at the international level and at the level of individual countries. However, Russia has only recently come to realize the need for legislative regulation of the relevant relations. At the same time, a distinctive feature of such regulation is the emphasis on public-legal aspects, and civil-legal aspects have been left without due attention.The distinction between genetic information and genetic data is essential for the determination of the civil law regime of genetic information. Genetic information is personified genetic (genomic) information (information), because it has an individual, personal character as relating directly or indirectly to a particular or identifiable person. Genetic data is non-personalized (anonymized) genetic data, which are characterized by a formalized species, often contained in the information system and in this regard — systematized. Genetic information is an element of such an intangible good as the secret of private life, genetic data are, as a rule, an element of such a result of intellectual activity as a database. In addition, it is concluded that there is no doctrinal or legislative basis for the recognition of genetic information as an independent object of civil rights. The necessity of additional legislative regulation of activity of the biobanks carrying out storage of biomaterials, respectively, genetic data is proved. Genetic information contained in such biobanks should be subject to the legal regime of privacy.

Introduction. The article provides an overview of the legal regulation of copyright protection using technical means of protection. German law states that technical means of copyright protection are technologies, devices, and their components. Such technical means are created to prevent or impede illegal actions of users that are not authorized by the copyright holder in relation to the results of intellectual activity. At the same time the legislator pays special attention to the fact that the distinguishing criterion of a technical means of protection against other methods of protection is effectiveness. In the article the authors analyze the legal consolidation of the specified criterion as a distinctive feature of technical means of copyright protection, and also consider the concept and cases of bypassing technical means of protection provided for by German law. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is formed by the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena and processes in the field of intellectual law: the method of system-structural analysis; method of synthesis of social and legal phenomena; comparative legal method; formal logical method. Results. As a result of the analysis it was revealed that according to German law the distinguishing feature of technical means of copyright protection from other methods of protection is the criterion of effectiveness. A technical protection device is recognized by the German legislator as effective if the technical protection device cannot be bypassed without the consent of the copyright holder. In the context of the effectiveness of a technical means of protection, German legislation broadly defines the concept of circumvention of technical means. German copyright law, unlike other foreign jurisdictions, contains provisions prohibiting the removal of a technical remedy.Discussions and Conclusions. The main criteria for technical means of copyright protection under German law have been studied, the fundamental of which is the criterion of the effectiveness of a technical means. Cases of circumvention of technical means of copyright protection provided for by German law have been identified. The legal regulation of the ban on the removal of technical means of protection has been explored.

During the research, the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, dialectical, logical-semantic, logical-normative, system-structural. Results: in the course of the conducted study, the main and optional components of the brand are determined, which make it possible to determine the features of its legal protection. It has been proved that despite a fairly wide range of domestic and international regulations, there are certain shortcomings of the brand protection mechanism. Originality. The study found that a trademark differs from a brand in that a trademark is a designation that is only the basis of the brand, as for the trademark are not essential such properties of the designation as a certain level of information among consumers and quality as a basis. gaining a reputation; the concept of "brand" is an evaluative, conditional concept, and therefore its consolidation at the regulatory level is impractical. It is sufficient to establish the factors on the basis of which the trademark can be considered "well known". A "well-known" trademark is a designation that is familiar to a wide range of consumers through its use to designate certain goods. Practical importance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities for the purpose of legal regulation of public relations in the sphere of legal protection of the brand.

Of course, the pledge as a way of securing the fulfillment of obligations is characterized by common features and general approaches to regulation, regardless of the object, at the same time, the features of individual objects require the specification of the relevant rules. The ongoing debate in science regarding the ratio of objects of civil rights, as well as the lack of unity on the issue of the ratio of individual objects, gives rise to a discussion regarding certain types of collateral, classified depending on the object. The author pays special attention to the pledge of property rights and proposes an approach on the relationship between certain types of property rights, in particular, rights of obligation, rights of participants in legal entities and exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity.
