Abstract
At present, social development as a whole is determined by the results of research activities. For this reason, it is important to identify the legal nature of the results of scientific activity. The aim of the article is to determine the boundaries of legal regulation of relations on creation and use of the results of scientific activity. The article analyzes the concept «the result of scientific activity» from the points of Russian legislation and civil law doctrine. The author discusses various options for improving legal regulation of civil law relations regarding the results of scientific activities from the standpoint of the correlation of such results with the protected object of intellectual property rights. These options range from expanding the circle of protected objects of intellectual property rights in the framework of the existing system to developing special absolute rights to the results of scientific activity. In some cases, the author refers to historical experience of the Russian law. It is concluded that identification of the legal nature of the results of scientific activity should be carried out with the combined application of all approaches de-scribed.
