<p>Este estudio se centra en el análisis de la tensión que se produce en el comercio del medicamento entre los derechos de propiedad intelectual de los que son titulares las empresas farmacéuticas y el derecho a la salud del que es titular toda persona. Se reflexionará acerca del tratamiento del medicamento como bien de mercado, y no como bien social, en relación con los precios fijados por los titulares de las patentes farmacéuticas. Las diferentes realidades geográficas que dificultan una correcta aplicación de la normativa, el papel del Estado en la prestación farmacéutica y las importaciones paralelas también ocuparán parte de estas reflexiones; para concluir con la necesidad de incluir unos principios éticos de real y efectivo cumplimiento que inspiren la regulación legal de la materia.</p><p>This paper is mainly focused on the description of the tensions produced over medicine trade, between intellectual property rights of which pharmaceutical companies are holders, and the health right, which every person is holding.

The article aims to explore the relationships that arise with respect to intellectual property rights in sports. The objectives of the article are to establish points of contact between intellectual property law and sports, as well as a detailed analysis of relevant public relations in terms of intellectual property law and sports law. To achieve the objectives of the article, the authors used a number of scientific methods, among which the main methods are analysis, synthesis and comparative-legal method. The authors of the study concluded that modern sport is developing in close intertwining with intellectual property rights, because only in this way can a sports spectacle be conveyed to a wide range of spectators and consumers in a broad sense. In addition, the range of points of contact between intellectual property and sports law is constantly growing and such can now be called not only patents and trademarks in sports, but also copyright, "image" rights, know-how in sports and the like.

The article provides an assessment of the state of legislation of Ukraine on the protection of intellectual property at the present stage. The most important problematic aspects and prospects of improving the legal regulation of intellectual property protection on the way to European integration are described in detail. The experience of foreign countries in ensuring the protection of intellectual property is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the features of computer program protection, which is especially relevant nowadays. Features of the use of license agreements by the owner of computer programs, namely BSD License, Apache License, GNU General Public License, GNU Lesser General Public License, were analyzed. The conclusion is drawn that a system of continuous analysis of decisions made by European countries in the field of intellectual property law, as well as on issues related to general state policy on the administration of intellectual property, in order to implement developed approaches to legislation and law enforcement practice, could improve the protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine.

Keywords: recodification of the Civil Code of Ukraine, codification of legislation onintellectual property law, subject and method of intellectual property law The article examines the issues related to the possibility ofcodification of legislation in the field of intellectual property rights. Currently, inUkraine there is a three-tier regulation of public relations in the field of intellectualproperty law. On the one hand, the Civil Code of Ukraine, the rules of which are characterizedby a corresponding nature, terminological inconsistency with special legislation;special legislation regulating legal relations arising from the creation and use ofcertain objects of intellectual property rights; as well as the provisions of ratified internationallegal acts in this area. Such legislation does not contribute to effectiveprotection or effective protection of intellectual property rights.The updating of the Civil Code of Ukraine will not improve the situation regardingproper legislative support in this area, and may lead to new conflicts. Based on the analysis of existing approaches in legal doctrine on the possible codificationof legislation in the field of intellectual property law, it is concluded that it ispossible if the latter is separated into an independent branch of law, characterized bythe subject and method of legal regulation. The existing approach to the definition ofthe subject of regulation in the doctrine of intellectual property law coincides with thecivilized approaches and does not reflect the specifics of legal relations that characterizethe field of intellectual property. The subject of intellectual property law is notlimited to private law relations, public law is also quite common. In this regard, it isproposed to understand the subject as a legal relationship arising in connection withthe creation, use and protection of intellectual property rights. It is proved that theright of intellectual property can be separated into an independent branch of law andto codify its legislation. This will be facilitated by the interest of the state and the correspondingpolitical will to do so.

Compulsory licensing is defined generally as the granting of a license by a government to use a patent without the patent-holder's permission. As applied to international intellectual property rights, it allows governments to grant licenses for patent use in situations where the patent-holder is either not using the patent within the country or is not using it adequately. Most of the drugs for which compulsory licenses have been granted in India are used for treatment of life-threatening diseases. The pharmaceutical companies however object on the ground of violation of their patent rights. This chapter discusses the provisions for compulsory licensing in TRIPs and the India patent system.

In times of a deep economic crisis, international support, including economic support, depends largely on fulfillment of the international obligations undertaken by Ukraine. Due to the complexity of the reforms implemented by Ukrainian society, political infighting, lack of politicalwill, unity and consistency in the implemented reforms, our country today recognizes the improper and untimely implementation of certain provisions of the Association Agreement with the EU. Intellectual activity permeates all spheres of society, its results, intellectual property rights are in constant development, changing, new objects appear, which presents new requirements for legal systems, on the legal regulation of the specified sphere, and arising out legal relationships. Today, implementation of the Association Agreement with the EU, one of the Chapters of which is the field of intellectual property, assumes of economic and political importance. However, even the judicial reform introduced and the creation of the High Court on Intellectual Property have not deliver their expected results. All because of inconsistency of actions of legislative and executive branches of power, lack of systematicity in reform, and its insufficient substantiation.That is why, today, there is a growing need for the adoption of the National Strategy for the Development of the Intellectual Property Sphere for the period 2020–2025, which should become a comprehensive reflection of the state policy in the field of intellectualproperty. As to its legal nature, the National Strategy for the Development of Intellectual Property is a set of measures aimed at: (creating) promoting and encouraging the creation of intellectual property rights; (use) the introduction of favorable conditions andmechanisms for the use of intellectual property rights in production and other economic sectors; establishment of effective public administration in the field of intellectual property; increase of efficiency of activity of state institutions of the intellectual property protection system, examination of applications and issuance of security documents; improvement of legislation on protection of intellectual property rights; improving the mechanisms of protection of intellectual property rights; formation of a high level of culture and education in the field of intellectual property in order to build a competitive national economy, based on knowledge and innovation and implemented by the Government of our country. The effectiveness of the Strategy depends on the successful implementation of judicial reform and the effective work of the High Court on Intellectual Property.

The constitutional bases of mediation in intellectual property cases related to the complex interdisciplinary legal institution of self-protection of rights are analyzed. The urgency of the topic is due to a combination of public and private law principles in modern legal regulation and the general process of constitutionalization of private law and intellectual property law, in particular. It is noted that the proclamation of the constitutional right to self-defense means the inclusion in the comprehensive system of human rights protection of additional ways that increase the effectiveness of its other components and enrich the constitutional human rights mechanism as a whole. In recent years, mediation has been recognized as one of the effective and promising ways of self-protection of intellectual property rights. Ukraine is just beginning to build the institution of mediation as a way to protect intellectual property rights. The research of Ukrainian scientists analyzes the situations when it is expedient and profitable to use mediation to resolve disputes in the field of intellectual property. At the same time, in some works of Ukrainian researchers, in the author�s opinion, there is an element of a certain underestimation of public law support for the right to self-defense, in particular copyright. We believe that the constitutional provisions on self-protection of rights should be used more widely in the development of doctrinal issues of mediation intellectual property matters, which should strengthen the civil aspects of the right to selfdefense and give the problem a broader human significance. The author is convinced that the methodology of the modern system of protection of intellectual property rights should be based on an anthropological approach, which means that the provision and protection of intellectual property rights should be carried out from the standpoint of guaranteeing individual rights. It is concluded that the practice proves the profitability and effectiveness of the use of mediation in disputes related to the protection of intellectual property rights. The full implementation of this institution in Ukraine will contribute not only to improving the protection of intellectual property, but also to ensuring the constitutional rights of man and citizen.
