Summary

Introduction

It is well known that any system of legal protection will not be sufficiently effective without the ability to protect the violated rights. There is the requirement of necessity that the state ensure effective protection measures in case of intellectual property rights infringement under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement [3] and in other international treaties, such as Universal Copyright Convention [4] and World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty [5]. This is especially pertinent in connection with the entry of the Russian Federation into the World Trade Organization. More than half of these cases involved copyright protection and related rights: 2,074 cases in 2011 and 2,192 cases in 2012 [9]
