СПЕЦИФІКА НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ОБМЕЖЕННЯ МАЙНОВИХ ПРАВ НА ТВОРИ В УКРАЇНІ

Abstract

The article analyses specific issues on the legal regulation in the sphere of restriction on the author's property rights to literary and artistic works in Ukraine through European and international prism. The author examines the legislation of Ukraine, international and European regulatory sources for the purpose of regulating directly the cases of lawful free use of literary and artistic works of the author and the restriction on his prop- erty rights to literary and artistic works, as a result of his intellectual activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the specifics of legal regulation in the sphere of restriction of property rights to works in Ukraine. The philosophical, general-scientific and special-scientific methods of cognition have been used in the work, including comparative-legal method, struc- tural-functional, deductive, as well as methods of analysis, generalization and analogies. The author has found the basic inaccuracies and gaps in the legal regulation for of the restriction and free use of works as an object of copy- right. The author proves that the Ukrainian legislator did has not harmonized the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Copyright and Related Rights" with the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine. Thus, the article shows that the use of such concepts as "free use of works", "restriction of property rights", "exceptions and restrictions on property rights", "legitimate use of a work without the consent of the author" are not in line with international practice. The author draws conclusions on the improvement of the legislation to avoid these problems. The implementation of Europe- an practice in the legislation of Ukraine is also highlighted. The results of the study can be used for further research in the field of copyright, including comparative copyright. These proposals may be applied to improve current intellectual property law.
