The object of this research is the determination of means of establishing the results of genomic research as the objects of intellectual property. The author analyzes the Russian normative legal acts regulating the questions of conducting genomic research and securing the rights to their results. The problem of absence of the universal definition and conceptual framework for genomic research in the national legislation is indicated. Analysis is carried out on the defended in legal community scientific positions pertaining to the need for separate consolidation and legal regulation of each type of product or organism that contains genes, or derivative from biomaterial, as well as the genes and genome themselves. The main conclusions consists in formulation and substantiation of the concept of “genomic research” and the results of genomic research. The original classification of the results of genomic research into static and dynamic is proposed. The author believes that the intellectual property law is most suitable for legal regulation and consolidation of the rights to results of genomic research. Inexpedience of determining each type of product or organism that creates or contains biomaterial as an object of intellectual property is substantiated. The author holds that the amendments to legislation should be introduced in exceptional circumstances when a new object possesses unique characteristics, and the existing tools of intellectual property law do not allow reflecting its specificity and protect the interests of its bearer.

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.

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.

RESUMO: O trabalho objetivou investigar o entendimento de alguns autores quanto ao assunto, além de estudar o que são os direitos fundamentais ligados aos direitos da personalidade e direito à imagem e o que as doutrinas hodiernas falam sobre considerar direitos da personalidade direitos fundamentais, no âmbito do Direito Civil e no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual. Muito se tem discutido se o Direito à Imagem e de personalidade estariam no campo de proteção do Direito Civil ou no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual, com base no que dispõe o caput do art. 24 da Lei de Direitos Autorais que dispõe sobre a proteção aos direitos morais do autor, inclusive o de se manter no anonimato, através das obras pseudônimas ou de não ver publicado certas obras por este escritas, mantendo-as inéditas ou escritas por outras pessoas, mas que digam respeito a sua pessoa. O STF em decisão unânime declarou inexigível o consentimento de pessoa biografada relativamente a obras biográficas literárias ou audiovisuais. A problemática residiu na possibilidade da existência desses direitos e na possibilidade da tutela transversal, onde o uso não autorizado de imagem encontra limitações firmadas pela doutrina e jurisprudência, como a exploração econômica da vítima que teve suas obras expostas na mídia sem autorização e, a depender do conteúdo, a denegrição da imagem. Concluiu-se que os direitos supramencionados são frutos de uma evolução jurídica em que os sistemas jurídicos contemporâneos se constituem com o dos Direitos estudados. Para tanto se utilizou do método de revisão bibliográfica qualitativa de abordagem dedutiva.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Direitos autorais, Direitos morais do autor, Responsabilidade civil. Right to Image and the Right to Personality: a parallel between Civil Law and Intellectual Property Law ABSTRACT: This work aims to investigate the understanding of some authors on the subject, as well as to study what are the fundamental rights related to personality rights and the right to image and what current doctrines speak about considering rights of personality fundamental rights in the scope of Law Civil and Intellectual Property Law. Much has been debated whether the Right to Image and personality would be in the field of protection of Civil Law or Intellectual Property Law, based on what the caput of art. 24 of the Copyright Law that provides for the protection of the author's moral rights, including to remain anonymous, through pseudonymous works or not to see published works by this writing, keeping them unpublished or written by other people, but which concern your person. The STF in a unanimous decision declared the consent of a person biographical in relation to biographical literary or audiovisual works unenforceable. The problem lies in the possibility of the existence of these rights and in the possibility of transverse protection, where the unauthorized use of image has limitations established by the doctrine and jurisprudence, such as the economic exploitation of the victim who had his works exposed in the media without authorization and depending of content, denigrating the image. It is concluded that the above rights are the result of a legal evolution in which the contemporary legal systems are constituted with the rights studied. For this purpose, the method of qualitative bibliographical review of the deductive approach will be used.KEYWORDS: Copyright, Author's moral rights, Civil liability.

AbstractThe Civil Law of Slovakia includes more sub-branches of the private law, such as family law, obligation law, property law, law of succession and intellectual property law. The intellectual property law is regulated outside the Civil Code, in special codes and laws. The intellectual property law is one of them. The intellectual property law provides legal protection to various intangible assets which are the results of the creative intellectual activities of individuals. The paper analyses selected legal institutions of the intellectual property law and tries to systematise legal regulations related to the intellectual property on the national level, the level of the European Union as well as international level.
