Problems of legal regulations of relations in the sphere of security and protection of intellectual property specific objects using the example of "Topographies of Integrated Circuits"
This article examines the ability of our state to guarantee the rights of intellectual property, which is a prerequisite for further integration of Ukraine in the sphere of international commercial trade. Affective functioning of intellectual property protection system is impossible without creation of an effective system of protection of intellectual property rights in the country, and with no protection for these rights at the international level through the relevant international agreements. Therefore, the article focuses on the legal regulation of relations in the field of intellectual property. Nowadays any state can receive technical assistance of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) (nature of such assistance, the mechanisms of its implementation and evaluation processes of technical assistance should be specified for each country), and because of this reason Ukraine should also encourage the development of the sector of protection of intellectual property, including specific objects of intellectual property. The article highlights the importance of legal protection of specific objects of intellectual property, in particular, analyzes the nature and feature of "integrated circuit" as a specific object of intellectual property. Also the article deals with the procedure of granting rights to the integrated circuit, and also some challenges and unresolved issues of protection and enforcement of the object, points to some norms of national law which need to be improved, taking into account relevant international standards such as Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).International cooperation in almost all fields of human knowledge is impossible without clear rules of regulating the creation, use, and protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, including the topography of integrated circuits.
