PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATION OF THE TERMINOLOGY OF FORENSIC EXAMINATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN UKRAINE: THEORY AND PRACTICE ISSUES

Abstract

The publication defines and scientifically substantiates the peculiarities of translation of the legal terminology of the English language in the field of intellectual property into Ukrainian and vice versa, taking into account the structural and semantic features of the respective terms. Methods and forms of applying the appropriate translation are summarized and systematized in the development and approval of the standards of terminology of the forensic examination of the objects of intellectual property rights. First of all, on the example of work of Subcommittee No. 5 “Examination of the Intellectual Property Objects” of the Technical Committee 192 “Forensic Examination” on the draft national document (National Income) State Standard of Ukraine 0000: 20XX “Forensic Examination of the Intellectual Property Rights Objects. Terms and Definitions” in 2018-2019. It is investigated the essence, content and genesis of the terms and terminology in the field of forensic examination of the intellectual property objects in the world, as well as the main methods and forms of their approval since their establishment in the first international conventions – in the Paris Convention for the Protection of the Industrial Property (1883) and in The Berne Convention for the Protection of the Literary and Artistic Works (1886) and before the formation in 1967 of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The decisive mission of the WIPO in standardization of the terminology in the field of intellectual property is emphasized and its influence on the formation of the standards of terms and definitions of the forensic examination of the intellectual property objects in Ukraine. The peculiarities of the methodological approaches to the translation of the legal terms from English into Ukrainian and vice versa are revealed. It is emphasized that the translation of the terminology of the forensic examination on the intellectual property matters is even more complex than the translation of purely legal terminology: in it legal terms are intertwined with linguistic ones (spec. 13.1.1 and 13.6); engineering-computer (spec. 13.1.2, 13.8), engineering-technical, chemical, pharmacological (spec. 13.3, 13.4 and 13.8), agricultural and biological (spec. 13.5.1), economic (spec. 13.9), etc. It is noted that these terms are not exclusively legal, but are bordered by other, unrelated areas of knowledge. The conclusions of the study suggested the author’s translation of the main terms of the forensic examination of the intellectual property rights from one language to another and identified the features of their translation.
