The escalation of the problem in question is related to the Internet possibilities of instant data transfer to multiple remote users that leads to speed and a great scale of intellectual property results sharing. The author gives undeniable arguments that the search for solution of the problem of illegal use of works on the Internet will be a determining factor for the consolidation of the world community with the subsequent unification of legal regulation of cross-border copyright relations. The promising avenues of international cooperation in the examined field are the following: 1) creation of a global registry of Internet sites, access to which should be restricted because of intellectual property rights violations; 2) creation of a unified international database of copyright and related rights

The most complicated in its realization material and personnel author’s rights are investigated in the article. The authors pay special attention to the next intellectual property rights: defense of the honor, dignity and goodwill of the author; inviolability of the composition; follow right; right of remuneration (royalty) for the commercial usage of the composition. The right of inviolability of the composition is a non-material right of intellectual property according to Ukrainian legislation but as an exception may be defended by other persons which are not subject of this right. On the contrary with the right of inviolability the right to change composition is a kind of material right of the author, which may be inherited. But changes into authors composition without his agree may break authors right on the honor and dignity which nevertheless exist during the lifetime of the author. Personnel non-material rights are valid during one’s lifetime on the contrary to the personnel rights of intellectual property. Thus, it is worth to provide that right to change composition after the death of the author other than translation or adoption as non-transferring material right of the author.   Follow right is the inalienable author’s right for 5 % from the sale price of the original artistic composition. Civil code of Ukraine doesn’t reveal to which kinds of artistic compositions may be applied follow right except for fine art compositions. It is told about works of fiction but it doesn’t allow to distinguish which objects should be excluded from the follow right. Logic position and international practice show that architectural objects and objects of folk arts are not amongst those, which may be used follow right for. Right of remuneration (royalty) for the commercial usage of the composition is weakly regulated. The main trouble that on the contrary with many other countries Ukrainian legislation doesn’t anticipate an obliged payments for commercial usage of compositions to persons who owns a material intellectual property rights. Besides, the exceptional list of free cases of compositions using contains also kinds of using which may anticipate commercial aspects. Especially it’s relevant to parodies, potpourri and caricatures. Using in such way changed compositions as a rule gives some commercial benefit or profit from advertising in the Internet whilst video clip. Also such kinds of composition’s changes may break the author’s right on honor, dignity and goodwill as well as an inviolability of the composition. The authors propose to define strictly the amount of repeat in the literature and musical compositions, which will be recognized as plagiarism. Besides, legal relations between the authors and publishers and possible ways of legal regulation of their material rights division are investigated in the article.

This chapter examines dealings in intellectual property (IP) rights. Given the economic importance of IP rights, it is necessary to understand how IP dealings — or transactions — work. The starting point for considering IP transactions is a simple principle — there is a distinction between being the author/creator of the underlying work, invention, mark, or design and being the owner of the right. For this reason, being the author/creator does not necessarily mean that one will always have the ability to enter into transactions with others concerning the work, design, invention, or mark. Generally, it is owners, or their agents/trustees, who will have the power to engage in IP transactions. There are two basic forms of IP dealings: assignment, and licensing. An assignment involves the outright transfer of ownership from the current owner to the new owner. By contrast, a licence is a mere permission to use the IP right.

This chapter offers a new view on how justifiable the current liberalist view on intellectual property rights (IPRs) in software actually is if based on Locke’s Second Treatise and especially on Chapter V, “Of Property” (2002), which has traditionally been seen as the starting point of liberalist argument for property — be it immaterial or material. This chapter will show how in Locke, the possibility of property in the immaterial is denounced and how that, in fact, fits the position of the Free Software Foundation for both patents and copyright in software, GNU General Public License (GPL) being the main example of this.

Copyright is one of the intellectual property rights whose main activity is to promote creativity and protect the ownership of the author. However, these rights are not absolute and are subject to certain restrictions.In the Berne Convention, Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and also WIPO Copyright Treaty embodied so-called “three-step test” allowing exceptions to copyright protection. They state that exceptions to copyright protection are admissible only in specific cases; if they comply with the rules of normal exploitation of the author's work; and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate rights of the author.While respecting the restrictions contained in international conventions, the Latvian Copyright Law also lays down various restrictions, when the author's work can be used without a special permit for the use of the author's work or for free, such as in the educational or research process. The free use of copyright-protected materials constitutes a restriction on the economic rights of copyright holders. These restrictions aim to strike a balance between the rights of the author and the interests of the public. Although copyright-protected works can be used in education almost everywhere in the world, restrictions on the exercise of these rights have not been clearly established.The aim of this paper is to research limits use of copyright-protected works in the educational process. Basis for this analysis will be the international and national legal framework about copyright exceptions in educational process.In the development of the research used an analytical method of scientific research, as well as a method of interpreting grammatical, teleological and historical legal norms. For the conclusions used inductive and deductive method of scientific research.
