Abstract
The article highlights the concept of “computer program” and defines the essence of legal protection of computer programs as objects of intellectual property law. Foreign and domestic legislation regarding the legal protection of computer programs as objects of intellectual property law has been studied. It has been found that in many countries of the world, computer programs are recognized as objects of both copyright and patent protection, if all conditions of patentability (novelty, inventive step, industrial applicability) are met. The problems of legal protection of a computer program as an object of copyright using the trade secret regime are revealed. The issue of legal responsibility for violation of the protection of computer programs as objects of intellectual property law is analyzed. The expediency of applying a comprehensive approach to the protection of computer programs as an object of copyright has been determined.
