ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ ПРАВОВОЙ ПРИРОДЫ СОАВТОРСТВА В КИНЕМАТОГРАФИЧЕСКОМ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИИ / THE ISSUES OF DETERMINING THE LEGAL NATURE OF JOINT AUTHORSHIP IN THE CINEMATOGRAPHIC WORK

Abstract

In the modern developing world of high technologies, a cinematographic work, as a result of the collective artistic work of a significant number of people, has important economic, social, and legal significance, taking a privileged place in the general system of the objects of intellectual property rights. This article is devoted to the study of legal relations arising in connection with the creation and use of such a complex object of intellectual activity as a cinematographic work. The author analyzes the place and creative role of each of the co-authors of the studied object and examines the nature of the legal relationship that arises between the authors and other rights holders of the film. Based on the analysis, the author has formed and justified a legal position regarding the juridical nature of co-authorship in relation to an audiovisual (cinematographic) work. The author pays special attention to the issues of law enforcement practice arising in connection with the potential expansion of the circle of legally recognized authors to an audiovisual work. Due to the versatility of the constantly changing field of cinematography, the author points out the need to modernize the current norms of copyright law, to develop the ability of the latter to respond promptly to current trends in the development of IP relations in the film industry.
