The subject of the article is some judicial acts on cases concerning protection of private property issued in Russia in recent years in the context of changes in the procedural legislation and legislation on the judicial system. The purpose of this article is to discover whether the current Russian judicial decisions may serve as input data for a machine learning algorithm in future. The main results, scope of application. The article presents an analysis of the changes in the Russian procedural law and in the regulation of the national judicial system in the recent years, which form new trends in judicial practice, according to the latest cases for the protection of private property in the courts. The author makes an analysis of the effectiveness of justice in providing recourse to private property violations in Russia. It is discovered whether the judicial protection has been substantially improved, following the promises of the Russian government. The article argues that these trends in judicial practice will negatively affect the automation of justice in the context of the nationwide digitalization of justice Such digitalization requires setting guidelines for the automated judicial decisions followed by the automated delivery of judicial documents. The methodology combines legal interpretation of judicial acts and Russian legislation comparative research, foresight and critical approach based on structured analysis, induction and deduction. Conclusions. There is a systemic deficiency in protecting private property in Russia, since neither the rules of civil and administrative proceedings, nor the constitutional control tools provide adequate protection on the matter. The recent relocation of the Constitutional Court of Russia from Moscow to St. Petersburg did not promote the judicial independence of the Court. On the contrary, the Constitutional Court, through formal excuses refrains from processing complaints on violation of private property rights and on the inefficiency of judicial procedures. The recent merger of the Supreme Arbitration Court of Russia and the Supreme Court of Russia has contributed to the uniformity of judicial practice. It violated the rights the owners of the shared premises in apartment buildings, but favored the beneficiaries of the management companies, which breach the owners’ rights. Judicial acts studied in this article prove their ineffectiveness in contributing to the quality machine learning for artificial intelligence required for the transition to automatic generation of blueprints and templates of court decisions. Analysis of judicial acts allows to conclude that they cannot serve now as a basis for machine learning of artificial intelligence. They cannot be systematized in databases even by the criterion of the law norms applied by the plaintiffs, since the courts evade the procedural obligation to explain why they reject the law norms that serve as the basis for a lawsuit or complaint, and apply completely different ones. These circumstances require the immediate response from the state authorities, including finding efficient ways to provide sustainable development of justice, i.e. ensuring the Rule of Law and access to courts, since otherwise the digitization of justice will lead to the automation of arbitrariness.

The article reveals the features of the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court as a court of law in Ukraine. It has been established that the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court is regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges» and the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. Analysis of the legislation allows us to note that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the judicial system in Ukraine. The composition of the Supreme Court is formed by the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, the Administrative Cassation Court, the Criminal Cassation Court and the Civil Cassation Court. It has been established that the President of the Supreme Court is elected to office, and also dismissed from office based on the results of a secret ballot held by the Plenum of the Supreme Court. The constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court makes it possible to single out such basic functions of the Supreme Court as: the function of administering justice, during which the Supreme Court acts as a court of cassation; the function of analyzing judicial statistics, as well as summarizing judicial practice; the function of providing conclusions on draft legislative acts directly related to the judicial system; the function of providing an opinion on the presence or absence of signs of committing high treason or other crime in the acts for which charges are brought against the President of Ukraine, for committing high treason or other crime; the function of providing appellate and local courts with proper methodological information on law enforcement issues, etc. It has been determined that the professional activity of the Supreme Court contributes to ensuring the observance of the principle of equality of all before the law and requires ensuring at the same time the achievement of the unity of judicial practice. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the legal status of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as a body of constitutional jurisdiction, the main function of which is to ensure the supremacy of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The article presents the conceptual foundations of bringing judges to civil and legal liability. It was found that the civil and legal liability of judges is one of the types of legal liability of judges. It is determined that the legislation of Ukraine provides for a clearly delineated list of the main cases (grounds) for which the state is liable for damages for damage caused to a legal entity and an individual by illegal actions of a judge as a result of the administration of justice. It has been proved that bringing judges to civil and legal liability, in particular on the basis of the right of recourse, provides for the payment of just compensation in accordance with the decision of the European Court of Human Rights. It was established that the bringing of judges to civil and legal liability in Ukraine is regulated by such legislative documents as the Constitution of Ukraine, the Civil Code of Ukraine, the Explanatory Note to the European Charter on the Status of Judges (Model Code), the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges», the Law of Ukraine «On the procedure for compensation for harm caused to a citizen by illegal actions of bodies carrying out operational-search activities, pre-trial investigation bodies, prosecutors and courts», Decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in the case on the constitutional submission of the Supreme Court of Ukraine regarding the compliance of the Constitution of Ukraine (constitutionality) of certain provisions of Article 2, paragraph two of clause II «Final and transitional provisions» of the Law of Ukraine «On measures to legislatively ensure the reform of the pension system», Article 138 of the Law of Ukraine «On the judicial system and the status of judges» (the case on changes in the conditions for the payment of pensions and monthly living known salaries of judges lagging behind in these), the Law of Ukraine «On the implementation of decisions and the application of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights».

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are a result not only of technological advances but also of the exploitation of information or data, which has led to its expansion into almost all aspects of modern life, including law and its practice. Due to the benefits of these technologies, such as efficiency, objectivity, and transparency, the trend is towards the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the judicial system. Integration that is advocated at all levels and, today, has been achieved mostly under the implementation of tools to assist the exercise of the judiciary. The "success" of this integration has led to the creation of an automated court or an artificially intelligent judge as a futuristic proposal.

The article considers the issues with regard to the direct effect of the Constitution. The topic is presented by analyzing the techniques for proper implementation of the Constitution and ensuring the constitutionality of the law enforcement/judicial practice. Author differentiates the content of the concepts „direct effect” and “direct implementation” of the Constitution, presenting the essence of each of the notions. Techniques for proper implementation of constitutional norms are suggested by the author, analyzing also the implementation priority rules. According to the author implementing legislative provisions in conformity with their constitutionallegal content is another precondition for ensuring the proper application of the Constitution. The law enforcement/judicial practice can become a subject of consideration by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia if itis not an issue of legitimacy of the mentioned practice, but an issue of constitutionality of the latter, an issue of evaluation of the circumstance whether the legal acts are implemented in conformity with their constitutional-legal content in the frames of the mentioned practice is raised.

Historical developments in rape laws argue against the now-popular notion that the law, which originally protected property, continues to protect male property rights. Also, these developments have been strongly influenced by modes of production, but the law cannot be adequately understood by reducing the property relationships in volved simply to the possession of women by men. While this restrict ed use of the term property may be somewhat meaningful when refer ring to slave societies, it is not very useful when dealing with kinship societies, emerging feudal class distinctions, colonial relationships, or personal dependency relations in the modern American home. Ex amples of rape laws in a variety of contemporary and historical social formations are given, and especially noted is the general trend toward recognition of women's legal rights in the United States.

The following article is a comprehensive rebuttal of dubious information spread throughout the social media, based on scientific materials in judicial practice. It includes the development of theoretical principles as well as practical application of the law in protection of human dignity in civil legal proceedings. The author provides an analysis of standard information, scientific literature and judicial practice as to the steps in the rebuttal in civil legal procedures of dubious information spread throughout social media and provides resolutions and proposals regarding the legal applications in protection of the honour and dignity of persons who intend to dispute such information. The article deals with the judicial components of the offence i.e. spreading of information to at least one person by any means; spreading information which refers to an individual or a legal entity i.e. a plaintiff; spreading dubious information i.e. that is information that does not correspond to the facts; spreading information that violates persona l non-property rights i.e. causes harm to personal welfare or prevents a person from realizing his personal non-property rights completely and timely. The author elaborates on each of these elements to the degree that their sum satisfies the demands of the claim. The form of protection of personal non-property rights, particularly those of dignity and honour, the right to the inviolability of a business reputation, is the choice of the plaintiff. In addition, the plaintiff may choose a general as well as a specific form of protection of his rights set out by the law that regulates specific legal relations. The author considers separately the problem of selecting a respondent (co-respondent) in specific cases (difficult in the selection of an appropriate respondent), where a most defenceless situation is created: without the establishment of appropriate respondents it is impossible both to contest the authenticity of the information which violates the honour and dignity of the individual and to provide compensation for the moral harm.

The Russian legislation regulating the procedure and payroll schedule is of fundamental importance for ensuring the property rights of employees. However, there are some shortcomings, which can be found in the content of the norms provided for in Art. 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Federal Law No. 272-FZ of July 3, 2016, eliminated some miscalculations regarding the specification of the payroll schedule made by the legislator. At the same time, there were gaps and questions that needed more precise, complete and uniform regulation. This causes difficulties when applying Art. 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation by employers, creates contradictions in the activities of state supervision bodies and in judicial practice. The analysis of the law and modern experience of its implementation made it possible to identify the uncertainty and other omissions in regulating the payment of earnings at the local level, in documenting such payments, in the composition requirements for each half of the month, and other more particular aspects of this group of relations. These problems can not be eliminated by the official interpretation of the federal bodies of labor administration. They require a revision of the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The author substantiates such changes and provides the draft of the new edition of Art. 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

This paper has been submitted in the context of WIPO’s public consultation on the ‘Draft Issues Paper on Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence’ (WIPO/IP/AI/2/GE/20/1). Whilst WIPO's draft paper is a commendable effort to start a well-evidenced conversation on a matter of the utmost importance, it is open to criticism, especially because it relies on a definition of AI that is, at the same time, vague, too narrow, and too broad.This submission answers the following questions:1) Should the law exclude from the availability of patent protection any invention that has been generated autonomously by an AI application?2) Should the law exclude from patent eligibility inventions that are autonomously generated by an AI application?3) Should specific provisions be introduced for inventions assisted by AI or should such inventions be treated in the same way as other computer-assisted inventions?4) Do amendments need to be introduced in patent examination guidelines for AI-assisted inventions?5) In the context of AI inventions, what art does the standard of the person skilled in the art refer to? Should the art be the field of technology of the product or service that emerges as the invention from the AI application?6) Should the standard of a person skilled in the art be maintained where the invention is autonomously generated by an AI application or should consideration be given to replacing the person by an algorithm trained with data from a designated field of art?7) What implications will having an AI replacing a person skilled in the art have on the determination of the prior art base?8) Should AI-generated content qualify as prior art?9) In the case of machine learning, where the algorithm changes over time with access to data, is the disclosure of the initial algorithm sufficient?10) Does the advent of inventions that are autonomously generated by AI call for a re-assessment of the relevance of the patent incentive to AI-generated inventions?11) Is a sui generis right the answer?12) Should AI-generated works be excluded from eligibility for copyright protection?13) Who should be the author and owner of an AI-generated work?The submission concludes with the following recommendations:A. The scope of WIPO’s policies and documents regarding AI should be better defined by both defining AI and, given that AI is a controversial and fuzzy umbrella term, the focus should be on the main AI technologies, starting with machine learning.B. The law should exclude from the availability of patent protection any invention that has been generated autonomously by an AI application.C. As for AI-aided inventions, their examination should be stricter and the main means to achieve this end would a shift from the ‘person skilled in the art’ to the AI-enhanced researcher.D. Prior art should not be limited to the field of technology of the product or service that emerges from the invention; it should include also the fields that are related to it and may be affected by it. AI-generated content should quality as prior art.E. A condition of the renewal of a patent should be the renewed disclosure of the machine learning algorithm as is at the date of the request of renewal. A system of deposit for algorithms, similar to the deposit of microorganisms, would be useful. The data used to train the algorithm should be included in the disclosure.F. A sui generis right should be considered as an option both for AI inventions and AI works (collectively ‘big machine data’). Such sui generis right should be accompanied by binding and mandatory fair use provisions; contracts and technological protection measures should not be allowed to sidestep or run counter the sui generis fair use. WIPO should commission legal and economic studies to assess the viability and impact of such a proposal.G. AI works fall outside the scope of copyright law. They are not their author’s own intellectual creation, they do not carry their personal touch, nor are they the result of free and creative choices.H. AI should not be given legal personality. Such a personality would not cope well with copyright rules and principles and could be used by human infringers to attempt to escape liability.no
