The article is devoted to the institution of challenging the normative legal acts of Rospatent in the Court on Intellectual Rights on the example of several cases examined by the Court. The authors highlight a number of problems in this area. Since the consideration of a public objection to a patent for a controversial utility model or invention and the decision on the results of the consideration of such an objection is within the competence of Rospatent, and the PIS performs only a supervisory function, it is difficult to solve this problem within a reasonable time. The authors propose: all disputes related to intellectual property after issuing a security document should be resolved not in an administrative - judicial manner, but only in a judicial one, by analogy with the violation of the patent of the Russian Federation for intellectual property objects.

This chapter examines intellectual property. The governing principles relating to intellectual property are very different from the principles that underlie other choses, like rights under contracts or debts. Like shares, intellectual property rights are characterized by specific statutory rules relating to their creation, as well as to their transfer. Intellectual property rights can be divided under six heads: patents; copyright; moral rights; industrial design rights; trademarks; and confidential information. In each case, the holder of the right is able—by virtue of ownership—to prevent others from doing what they otherwise could do. Each of these intellectual property rights has four different aspects: the intellectual property right itself; rights of action for infringement; validity challenges; and licensing.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is a set of rights granted to exploit an object that is the result of human thought. IPR consists of various rights including copyright, trademark, patent, industrial design, and trade secrets. These rights are needed in developing a business, both large and small businesses. Legal counselling on the importance of IPR was given to the "Bia Berek" group consisting of mothers of traditional weaving craftsmen from the Kemak tribe in Kuneru village, Manumutin Urban Village, Atambua District, Belu Regency (East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)) in August 2018. As small businesses in traditional industries, an introduction to the importance of IPR for this group is given so that they can protect the object of intellectual property rights owned and utilize the IPR to advance their small businesses. After legal counselling is carried out, group members understand that their creativity in making woven fabrics is one of the assets protected by copyright and plagiarism of fabric motifs from other regions or groups is not permitted in the copyright regime. In addition, group members understand that a brand is needed to be able to market their woven fabrics more broadly. However, they are still unable to register their weaving work to obtain brand protection, industrial design, and IG, due to their limited funds, knowledge and access. There needs to be further assistance from the Regency Government regarding this IPR issueABSTRAK:Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI) adalah serangkaian hak yang diberikan untuk mengeksploitasi suatu obyek yang merupakan hasil dari pemikiran manusia. HKI terdiri dari berbagai hak di antaranya hak cipta, merek, paten, desain industri, dan rahasia dagang.  Hak-hak ini sangat dibutuhkan dalam mengembangkan suatu usaha, baik usaha besar atau pun kecil. Penyuluhan hukum akan pentingnya HKI ini diberikan kepada kelompok “Bia Berek” yang beranggotakan ibu-ibu pengrajin tenun tradisional dari  suku Kemak di desa Kuneru, Kelurahan Manumutin, Kecamatan Kota Atambua, Kabupaten Belu (Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT)) pada bulan Agustus 2018. Sebagai pelaku usaha kecil di industri tradisional, pengenalan akan arti pentingnya HKI bagi kelompok ini diberikan agar mereka dapat melindungi obyek hak kekayaan intelektual yang dimiliki dan memanfaatkan HKI tersebut untuk memajukan usaha kecil mereka. Setelah penyuluhan hukum dilakukan, anggota kelompok memahami bahwa kreatifitas mereka dalam membuat kain tenunan merupakan salah satu asset yang dilindungi oleh hak cipta dan penjiplakan motif kain tenun dari daerah atau kelompok lain merupakan hal yang tidak diperkenankan dalam rezim hak cipta. Selain itu, anggota kelompok memahami bahwa diperlukan merek untuk dapat memasarkan lebih luas lagi kain hasil tenunan mereka. Namun, mereka masih belum mampu mendaftarkan karya tenun mereka untuk mendapatkan perlindungan merek, desain industri, dan IG, karena keterbatasan dana, pengetahuan dan akses mereka. Perlu ada pendampingan lebih lanjut dari pihak Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten terkait masalah HKI ini

A large variety of market relations are regulated by intellectual property rights, which represent legitimate monopolies correcting certain inefficiencies of a profit distribution on the market. In the following paper, the author examines the relations between design right and copyright using the comparative method. Firstly the author will analyze both resemblances and differences between these two intellectual property rights. The resemblance in protection object in particular makes available the cumulation of protected rights, in other words, the possibility of protecting industrial design by copyright, which will also be analyzed in the paper. Such work aims to comprehend the hybrid nature of design right as a right usually bypassed in a legal theory, and which is, in the author's opinion, especially interesting.

Costa Rica's entry into the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) was hotly contested and the subject of a national referendum. For activists opposing the treaty, questions of 'privatizing seeds' through imposing intellectual property rights were among the main concerns raised by the treaty, as one requirement of CAFTA was signing the international Convention on Plant Variety Protection known as UPOV. The threat to farmers' seeds in Costa Rica and many other parts of the world is more complicated than being a clear-cut issue of privatization. Struggles for control over seeds are a crucial part of the political economy of agriculture that are grounded in debates over the significance of the physical and social properties of seeds as a natural resource. This article explores how debates over intellectual property rights to seeds confound simple distinctions between public domain and private property, and the implications for agricultural genetic diversity. Moreover, through the story of Costa Rica's engagement with CAFTA and UPOV, I contemplate the broader effects of the free trade paradigm on reconfiguring ideas not only of property but also of personhood and democracy. I will argue that through reconfiguring the boundary between the public domain and private property in the realm of seeds, recent intellectual property trends also reinscribe the definition of farmers along pre-defined class lines. Through their actions, groups involved offer competing visions of how a local resource should be defined and internationally connected; these visions can be understood as competing visions of political ecology in practice.Keywords: Costa Rica, CAFTA, UPOV, intellectual property, seeds

Plant variety protection has come to the fore in the wake of the adoption of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement). TRIPS generally imposes the patentability of inventions, whether products or processes, in all fields of technology and specifically mandates the introduction of a form of legal protection on plant varieties. Article 27.3(b) thus states that member states “shall provide for the protection of plant varieties either by patents or by an effective sui generis system or by any combination thereof.”
