Estimation and Legal Protection of the Results of Intellectual Activity

Abstract

Relevance. Intellectual activity is one of the main human activities, which is not related to the physical abilities of an individual, but directly to the mental ones, which are expressed in the creation of ideas in such areas as science, art, creativity, industrial development, know-how. The importance of this topic is due to the need to regulate intellectual property rights to the results of intellectual activity, because in the present rapidly developing world, all of the above areas are actively developing and there are problems with the legal protection of this type of human activity.

Goals. The purpose of the research is to consider ways to evaluate and legally protect the results of intellectual activity in Russian and international practice.

Methodology. The main research methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and statistical data.

Conclusions. There are international standards for the protection of intellectual property rights, but in some countries the problem of regulation and control of intellectual property rights still remains urgent. There is a need for continuous improvement and development of legal mechanisms for the protection of intellectual property rights at the international level. It should be borne in mind that legal protection should not contradict public interests and should not become an obstacle to free access to knowledge and information.
