The article provides an assessment of the state of legislation of Ukraine on the protection of intellectual property at the present stage. The most important problematic aspects and prospects of improving the legal regulation of intellectual property protection on the way to European integration are described in detail. The experience of foreign countries in ensuring the protection of intellectual property is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the features of computer program protection, which is especially relevant nowadays. Features of the use of license agreements by the owner of computer programs, namely BSD License, Apache License, GNU General Public License, GNU Lesser General Public License, were analyzed. The conclusion is drawn that a system of continuous analysis of decisions made by European countries in the field of intellectual property law, as well as on issues related to general state policy on the administration of intellectual property, in order to implement developed approaches to legislation and law enforcement practice, could improve the protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine.

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.

Considering and researching the content and essence of the main issues of this article through the prism of the current state of affairs in the domestic and global legal field, it is stated that such a legal phenomenon as intellectual property law is constantly increasing the importance and presence in jurisprudence and everyday life. Examples of the most successful experience of developed and democratic foreign countries in the field of legal support of intellectual property rights are considered. The potential of future introduction of one or another successful foreign example or the approach on which it is based into the Ukrainian social and legal realities is analyzed. The author's definitions of the concepts "intellectual property", "intellectual property right" and "enforcement of intellectual property rights" are offered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in order to properly ensure intellectual property rights in Ukraine, it is first necessary to create and implement clear and effective legal regulation in this area. It is emphasized that not all methods and means of ensuring intellectual property rights, which have demonstrated success in certain countries, will be suitable for use in Ukraine. Therefore, the main focus of this article was not only to highlight successful examples of the functioning of intellectual property rights in developed countries, but also to select those that could be successfully adopted in the domestic legal field.

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.

This research aims to obtain a picture of the policy in the field of intellectual property rights as well as legislation and law enforcement of intellectual Property Rights (HAKI). The increasingly high-flow of free trades that demand the higher creativity of the resulting products proved increasingly spur on the technological developments that support these needs. Along with this, it began to realize the importance of the role of intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) in supporting technological developments. This is seen from the increasingly high number of copyright, patent and trademark applications and the sufficient number of industrial design applications addressed to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights, the Office of the jurisdiction and human rights. By using a descriptive analysis obtained the idea that the implementation of good intellectual property rights system not only requires the legislation in the field of intellectual property right but should be supported also by Administration, law enforcement and an optimal socialization program on intellectual property Rights (HAKI). The results of the research show that at this time, Indonesia has had a legal device in the field of intellectual property rights which is adequate and does not contradict the provisions as required in Agreement on Trade-Related Aspect Of Intelectual Property Rights. In principle, all rules of intellectual property rights have been prepared about the interests of the Community and by the minimum provisions as required by TRIPS approval (Agreement on Trade-Related) Aspect Of Intelectual Property Rights).

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.

As Peng, Ahlstrom, Carraher, and Shi (2017) rightly noted, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection in a country is not static. It evolves over time. Peng et al. (this issue) revealed through their historical analysis that during the 19th century, the US was not a leading IPR advocate but a leading IPR violator. It was only when indigenous inventors, authors, and organizations of the US emerged and demanded protection of their IPR in foreign countries in the late 19th century that the US passed the International Copyright Act (the Chace Act) in 1891 to extend IPR protection to foreign works. The US case illustrated that a country's IPR system as an institution evolves as its economy and society develop. If we examine this evolution over a relatively long time span, the change can be quite dramatic. Therefore, when reviewing a country's IPR system, an important question to be asked is in which direction the country's IPR system evolves.

However, even the judicial reform introduced and the creation of the High Court on Intellectual Property have not deliver their expected results. All because of inconsistency of actions of legislative and executive branches of power, lack of systematicity in reform, and its insufficient substantiation.That is why, today, there is a growing need for the adoption of the National Strategy for the Development of the Intellectual Property Sphere for the period 2020–2025, which should become a comprehensive reflection of the state policy in the field of intellectualproperty. As to its legal nature, the National Strategy for the Development of Intellectual Property is a set of measures aimed at: (creating) promoting and encouraging the creation of intellectual property rights; (use) the introduction of favorable conditions andmechanisms for the use of intellectual property rights in production and other economic sectors; establishment of effective public administration in the field of intellectual property; increase of efficiency of activity of state institutions of the intellectual property protection system, examination of applications and issuance of security documents; improvement of legislation on protection of intellectual property rights; improving the mechanisms of protection of intellectual property rights; formation of a high level of culture and education in the field of intellectual property in order to build a competitive national economy, based on knowledge and innovation and implemented by the Government of our country. The effectiveness of the Strategy depends on the successful implementation of judicial reform and the effective work of the High Court on Intellectual Property.
