The article analyzes the criminal law provisions of the Criminal Code of 1903, which provided the responsibility for encroachments on objects of intellectual property rights, and defined the peculiarities of criminal legal protection of economic and other interests of subjects of intellectual property rights in Ukrainian lands according to these criminal legal norms. The Criminal Code of 1903 was marked by a significant difference from the Criminal Code of 1845, expressed as a significant reduction in the number of criminal acts, the general humanization of criminal punishment, and in a more progressive approach to the design of criminal law. For example, in Art. 1, the principle of "nullum crimen sine lege" was directly affirmed for the first time, while in criminal laws of earlier times it was laid down but only proceeded from the general content of the articles. Analysis of the criminal law of the Criminal Code of 1903 provisions allowed to conclude that the criminal legal protection of objects of intellectual property rights was carried out at the expense of: 1) criminal law, which provided for liability for attacks on objects of copyright and patent law. In this case, the legal protection of copyright objects was closely linked to the censorship and, in fact, was inseparable from it; 2) the provisions establishing criminal liability for actions related to the disclosure of secrets; 3) provisions relating to the introduction of goods into the market and their circulation there, as well as the importation of goods into the territory of the Russian Empire, which provided for liability for the following acts: a) acts related to the illegal manufacture of works and their introduction into circulation, in including the illegal circulation of equipment that may be used for the illicit manufacture of works; b) acts related to the illicit sale or other distribution of works; c) other acts related to the illegal circulation of objects of intellectual property rights.

The issues of criminal liability for violations of intellectual property rights in Ukraine as well as examples of foreign countries (Federal Republic of Germany, French Republic, United States of America, Swiss Confederation) were analyzed. The author has identified major international instruments that set out basic international standards for the protection of intellectual property rights. It has been determined that Article 61, Section 5, of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, or the TRIPS Agreement, lays down provisions on criminal proceedings. The author analyzed the provisions of the current criminal legislation of Ukraine, according to which the occurrence of criminal liability is possible in case of violation of property rights of owners, without taking into account personal non-property rights. The article also states that, in accordance with the provisions of the articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a peculiarity of domestic criminal legislation on infringement of intellectual property rights is that this type of liability can occur only if the owner of the rights of property damage in a large, large or especially large size. With regard to the Institute of Industrial Property, the Criminal Code of Ukraine provides for liability for the unlawful use of an invention, utility model, industrial design or variety of plants, if the material damage was done, as previously stated, in a significant, large or particularly large sizes. The author has determined that the urgency of the solution requires the issue of extending legal protection to new and emerging technologies. As with this, the nature of the violations and the process itself change. Against this background, there is a serious challenge to the intellectual property system. In turn, the process of protection and protection of intellectual property may be enhanced by having an adequate and effective system of state mechanism for preventing and ending offenses. It can also be achieved by simplifying the process of proving infringement in the field of intellectual property, and thus the procedure for bringing the perpetrator to justice.

The article examines the legal protection of computer programs as intellectual property rights. The analysis of theoretical and practical aspects of the existing system of protection of the computer program according to the rules of copyright is carried out and the possible ways of its improvement in accordance with the current conditions. As many scientists, in particular, Kirin R, S., Tarasenko L.L., Efremova T.F., emphasize the imperfection of the legal protection of this object of intellectual property rights, the possible ways of improving the legislative protection of computer programs in accordance with to the needs of today. We identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various legislative protection systems that are relevant today or those that could theoretically be applied to protecting computer programs. Particular attention has been paid to the emergence and development of the legal protection of computer programs in general since the 1960s. It has been revealed that from the very beginning, the legal protection industry has relied on various systems of protection, including copyright and patent law, and so on. In the future, with the development of intellectual property rights, in almost all states, a system for protecting computer programs as literary works has been adopted. However, in the current context, such legal protection is ineffective. And the more useful a computer program is, the more vulnerable it to copying. That is why the prevalence of unlicensed versions of computer programs is analyzed. So, about 85% of the population were found to be using, at least one, illegal copy of computer programs. The main reasons for this phenomenon are the perception of intellectual property rights as a free resource, as well as fragmented, imperfect action by the state to identify and eliminate this type of offense. Due to the urgency of the problem, the authors have proposed various options for protecting computer programs: in particular, the traditional protection of a computer program as a copyright object; protect your computer program by patent law. However, only if the program is part of a utility model or invention; protecting your computer program name as a trademark, etc. Keywords: computer program, copyright, patent, source code, object code.

The article analyzes and proves the existence of public need for criminal law protection of objects of intellectual property rights. According to the special importance of intellectual property, which is based directly on its social value (significance) and is associated with the satisfaction of the mental, cultural, economic and other needs of society, it is proved that full and effective legal protection of the rights, freedoms and interests of the subjects of intellectual property rights is possibly solely through measures of criminal law influence. The fact that the economic and social value of intellectual property forms the intellectual capital of the country and society is extremely important. It needs state support, and in the absence of it - undergoes qualitative changes that cause the fall of all spheres of the economy, an increase in unemployment, backwardness of technologies etc. Thus, it has been established that the factors that predetermined the social necessity to criminalize encroachments on objects of intellectual property rights include the following: a) the economic and social value of intellectual property that forms the intellectual capital of the country and society; b) informational nature and ethical essence of intellectual property, allowing to consider it as one of the fundamental values ​​of society; c) the public danger of these encroachments; d) the criminal law provisions concerning violation of the right of intellectual property are a guarantee of protection of constitutional rights and interests of the person; e) international legal obligations of Ukraine affect the introduction of standards for the legal protection of intellectual property rights, including criminal law protection. Thus, the author concludes that the criminalization of encroachments on objects of intellectual property right is justified and meets the interests of society and the state.

The scientific article examines the modern mechanism of protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine. Attention is paid to the historically first using of the concept of intellectual property rights in international law and the shortcomings of this definition. The legal definition of this concept contained in the Civil Code of Ukraine is analyzed. It is concluded that the legislative enshrinement of intellectual property rights is evidence of its recognition by the state, and such a right applies to special objects, the list of which is enshrined at both national and international levels. The question of the relationship between the concepts of "protection" and "defense" of civil rights is covered. The main groups of approaches of scientists to the solution of this problem are indicated. An approach that defines "protection" as a general concept for "defense" is supported, where "protection" is a broader concept that covers the term "defense". Emphasis is placed on the fact that although these legal categories are related, they cannot be identified. The main features that distinguish these concepts are listed, and the features of "defense" as an independent concept are highlighted. There are given examples of definition of the concept of protection of intellectual property rights given by scientists. Based on these definitions, the main features of this term are summarized. The issue of forms of protection (jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional) has been studied. The general and special order within the jurisdictional form is distinguished. It is noted about the peculiarities of self-defense as a non-jurisdictional form. The focus is on the judicial (general) procedure for protection of intellectual property rights as the main one. Possible ways of protection (civil, administrative, criminal, and criminal) are analyzed. The problems and shortcomings of the current system of legal protection and protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine are analyzed. Both reports from international partners and research by Ukrainian scientists were used. The authors outline ways to solve existing problems. The conclusions of the study are formulated and the possibility of further scientific research in this area is indicated.
