The legislation of Ukraine regulating activities related tointernational scientific and technical and military-technical cooperation is analysed.The importance of intellectual property protection at all stages of international cooperationof Ukraine and the need to improve the legislation on the regulation of intellectualproperty protection in the process of this cooperation is determined. It is suggested totake a number of measures to address issues related to the protection of intellectualproperty in the process of international cooperation of Ukraine and the protection of nationalinterests regarding the use of intellectual property rights in the process of thiscooperation.The protection of intellectual property in international cooperation should be ensuredprimarily by bilateral agreements on this issue, which should be concluded at thebeginning of cooperation in any field, as well as agreements on the protection of classifiedinformation. These agreements should define the basic principles for concludingagreements (contracts) and be aimed at mutual protection of information, prevention ofinfringement of the rights for the results of intellectual activity when using them in thecourse of cooperation.To deal with this issue, it is necessary to systematically and comprehensively approachthe improvement of legislation on intellectual property in the defence sector, especially on the protection of national interests in the implementation of cooperation inthe process of Euro-Atlantic integration. It is necessary to clearly define in the legislationthe obligations of all subjects to ensure the protection of intellectual property at allstages of cooperation, as well as expanding the list of violations and responsibility fortheir implementation, especially for actions that threaten infringement of intellectualproperty rights measures to ensure the protection of intellectual property rights.
