Abstract
The problem of the abolishment of “intellectual immunities” has remained relevant for many years. According to Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service, the lack of antitrust control over the disposal of exclusive rights makes the Russian market vulnerable before foreign holders of intellectual rights. In fact, the regulator is entitled to impose antitrust restrictions on exclusive rights. This power is expressly stipulated by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, which still provides for “intellectual immunities” for foreign holders of intellectual rights. Therefore, the removal of these immunities from the law is a prerequisite for improvement of the antitrust regulation, which must be followed by systemic modification of the antitrust laws, in the first place, by expansion of competition assessment techniques in the field of intellectual property and by setting boundaries in respect of antitrust control, preserving the powers conferred on holders of intellectual rights.

Summary
Annotation The problem of the abolishment of “intellectual immunities” has remained relevant for many years. The regulator is entitled to impose antitrust restrictions on exclusive rights This power is expressly stipulated by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, which still provides for “intellectual immunities” for foreign holders of intellectual rights. В условиях активно развивающейся цифровой экономики и роста числа цифровых рынков инициативу ФАС России об отмене «интеллектуальных иммунитетов» связывают с необходимостью защиты российских компаний от антиконкурентных действий транснациональных корпораций (Google, Apple, Microsoft)[2], которым принадлежит программное обеспечение, в том числе операционные системы. Хотя предлагаемые законодательные изменения ФАС России мотивирует необходимостью регулирования цифровых рынков, в случае отмены «интеллектуальных иммунитетов» положения ст. 10 и 11 Закона о конкуренции будут применяться к действиям и соглашениям по осуществлению исключительных прав в отношении любых товаров, а не только цифровых продуктов[4]. В данной статье авторы предлагают посмотреть на проблему под новым углом и разобраться в вопросе о том, действительно ли в действующем правовом поле ФАС России не может применять запреты злоупотребления доминирующим положением и антиконкурентных соглашений к действиям и соглашениям по распоряжению исключительными правами
