In the circumstances of development and functioning of the innovative model of economy, and necessity of creation and introducing of new technics and advanced technologies in manufacture the patent law is of a great importance in the intellectual property law system. The issue of patent law has repeatedly been the subject of researches in the national civil law science, but the question of its objects still remains unresolved. Therefore, the task of this article is to determine the range of the objects protected by patent law, as well as to describe their features. The article draws attention to the existence of different approaches to understanding the concept of «patent» in national legislation and international acts. The invention is analyzed as the most important object of patent-law protection. The inexpediency of defining the invention and its objects by pointing to all fields of technology is emphasized. Regarding to the utility model, the latest legislative changes in the definition of its objects are analyzed, as well as, some considerations are expressed regarding the prospects of introducing the criterion of inventive step for it. As for the industrial design, taking into account the latest changes in the legislation in this area, it is stated that it is inexpedient to refer it to the objects of patent law. It is argued that a plant variety and a breed of animals as the results of selection cannot be attributed to the scope of patent law. It is emphasized that patent law should not be equated with industrial property law – the latter is a broader concept, which, in addition to the objects of patent law, also includes other categories of objects (industrial designs, trademarks, geographical indications, etc.). It is concluded that the objects of patent law are inventions and utility models. In this regard, it is proposed in the process of recoding the rules on industrial designs to be allocated in a separate chapter of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

The definition of  Refugee on Presidential Decree No.125/2016 is the first definition of the subject in Indonesian legal system,  refers to both Refugee and Asylum Seekers in UN Convention 1951, which supposed to have different  handling methods. Therefore, the implementation of Presidential Decree No.125/2016 leads to different  understanding in immigration and foreign policy perspective on Refugee subject.   


The history of development of industrial property of Ukraine, objects of intellectual property and relations which arise at their creation and use are considered. The main results of scientific research on the creation of intellectual property of the Institute of Oilseed Crops of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (hereinafter IOC NAAS) are highlighted and analyzed. The research was conducted as part of the ongoing monitoring of intellectual property legislation on the legal protection of research results of the IOC NAAS and as part of marketing and patent research to position the institution as an originator of oilseeds.

Research methods – quantitative, qualitative and comparative analysis. Methodology – according to the algorithm of constant monitoring and conducting patent and marketing research. The term "intellectual property" was first used in the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), adopted in Stockholm on July 14, 1967, and since then the term has been used in international conventions and legislation in many countries. The day of the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Property» in 1991 is considered to be the beginning of the formation of the legislation of Ukraine on intellectual property. This law for the first time recognized the results of intellectual activity as objects of property rights. At present, ensuring the implementation of state policy in the field of protection of rights to inventions and utility models in Ukraine is provided by the Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property (Ukrpatent) and belongs to the Ministry of Economic Development of Ukraine.

During the existence of the IOC NAAS, scientists have created 87 objects of patent law. The novelty and originality of scientific developments are confirmed by patents for inventions and utility models. At the time of writing, the Institute supports 23 patents.

This article discusses proposed legislative changes which aim to introduce a special court into the Polish court system to handle intellectual property matters. The main reason for establishing such a court is, undoubtedly, the quite specific nature of proceedings regarding intangible property rights in a broad sense. The bill is part of a vast exercise to amend civil procedure law, but, to a large extent, has an impact on the substantive provisions of Industrial Property Law and the Act on Copyright and Related Rights. A number of the proposed solutions should, therefore, have a consistent influence on intellectual property laws and contribute to increasing the quality of adjudication. A substantial portion of the doctrinal considerations addressed in this article are, however, about selected issues related to new laws on remedies available in intellectual property law proceedings. In particular, they include provisions which enable the disclosure of information on intellectual property right violations. The issue of information disclosure requests has already provoked many reactions, mostly critical, with respect to the current legislation. Therefore, examining the proposed change is all the more justified as it may provide an answer to whether the uncertainties associated with applying this construct will continue to exist.

Such division of legislative acts is based on different volumeand subject of regulation of legislative acts. As a result of undertaken a study andtaking into account foreign experience two alternative ways of codification of legislationare certain in the field of intellectual property: within the limits of operating theCivil code of Ukraine and Economic code of Ukraine taking into account the differentiationof the subjects of its regulation, or in the direction of individual codifications ofcopyright and industrial property law as institutions intellectual property law. It issubstantiated that the second way has significant advantages over the unified (general)settlement of relations in the field of spiritual and scientific and technical creativitysince it takes into account the essential specifics of these two components of intellectualproperty law, which is due to the difference in the subjects of their regulation.Guidelines for choosing the appropriate direction of codification are proposed.

The United States Supreme Court in recent years has taken an increased interest in patent law, making a number of key decisions in the areas of injunctions1, licensing2, patentable subject matter3, and the standards of determining obviousness.4 In the current 2007-2008 term, the Court has already granted certiorari to consider the boundaries of the patent exhaustion doctrine; a case closely watched by legal commentators and observers.5 The Court's attention has also been drawn to the intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust law, with two cases in that legal realm having been recently decided. In Illinois Tool Works v. Independent Ink, the Court considered whether the presumption that patent owners have market power in the subject matter of their patents is "applicable in the antitrust context when a seller conditions its sale of a patented product . . . on the purchase of a second product."6

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

Agamben describes his posture as a reader as one of seeking a text’s Entwicklungsfähigkeit, or capacity for elaboration.1 In examining Agamben’s practices of reading, we can attend to the opposite phenomenon: the counter-elaboration that a text, in having being read by the philosopher, performs upon Agamben’s own thought. This reciprocal elaboration might constitute a paradigm for Agamben’s use of reading, according to his own idiosyncratic definition of use as an event in the middle voice, in which (according to a definition of Benveniste) the subject ‘effects an action only in affecting itself (il effectue en s’affectant)’ (UB 28). With this definition in mind, we could say that Agamben effects a text (he writes) only to the extent that he is also affected by another text (he reads). This is why Agamben’s position as a reader proves particularly important to any assessment of his work, quite aside from the problem of influence or intellectual genealogy. For this same reason, however, assessing Agamben’s relation to Antonio Negri – a figure with whom, by most measures, he is at odds – poses an unexpected challenge: how can Agamben’s thought be a use of Negri? Answering this question means not only assessing the critical distance between the two thinkers, but also taking this distance as a measure, in the Spinozan sense, of mutual affection.
