Legal Regime of the Results of Intellectual Activity of Employees

The study is devoted to the consideration of the issue of service results of intellectual activity. Currently, a significant part of the results of intellectual activity is created by employees in the course of performing their work duties. The civil law calls such works "service". Finding a balance between the legal protection of the rights to official results of intellectual activity and ensuring the participation of these results in the economic turnover is a necessary tool in the relationship between the employer and the author-employee. The specificity of official works lies in the fact that, unlike the results of intellectual activity created within the framework of a copyright contract or the rights to which were obtained as a result of the conclusion of an agreement on the alienation of exclusive rights or a license agreement, legal regulation is carried out at the junction of civil and labor law. The work contains proposals for improving legislation.
