The legal regulation of public relations related to intangible objects in their relationship with the institution of property is very relevant in the context of the digital revolution and the development of information law. In this regard, it is important to make a scientific understanding of the question of what is the modern meaning of intangible property, why a different legal regime should be applied to intangible objects in contrast to property law, to what extent Kazakh legislation reflects the general trends in the development of legislation in this area in developed countries and the international system. The purpose of the article is to analyze the concept of «intangible objects» and related terms in the Kazakh legislation, as well as to study the issues of how information technologies can be the object of civil law relations. The author shows the positions of researchers from different countries regarding approaches to these legal categories. The article reveals the relationship and difference between the legal regulation of tangible and intangible property. It is clarified that in the context of the introduction of digital technologies, intangible objects can be considered as objects of property rights. At the same time, in order for intangible objects to be considered in the system of civil law relations, such a condition is necessary when their transfer to other subjects of law was carried out in the process of property turnover. Conclusions are drawn regarding the underdevelopment of legal protection mechanisms for creators of intangible objects, in particular, authors of electronic books, from unauthorized copying and posting on Internet resources. The conclusions and proposals obtained are of some importance for the development of a scientifically based doctrine of information law, which in turn will affect the improvement of legislation and the effectiveness of the mechanism of legal regulation of the public relations under consideration.
