THE PROBLEM OF LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE TITLE, PART AND CHARACTERS OF THE WORK
Background: in the civil law of Russia the principle of autonomy of the will operates, from the content of which a special means of legal regulation is derived-the principle-method of automatic protection of the work. Automatic protection of the work as a legal mechanism enshrined in the legislation, provides the most favorable conditions for the emergence of copyright, at the same time, the application of this principle-method is complicated due to the presence of modern problems of law enforcement, in particular, the establishment of protection capacity in respect of the title of the work, its parts and characters. Objective: to identify the approach that affects the understanding of the content of the principle-method of automatic protection of the work, in relation to the objects of copyright, in the context of regulation of relations arising in connection with the protection of the title, part and characters of the work. Methodology: the author used the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, analysis and synthesis, as well as the formal legal method of research. Results: the principle-method of automatic protection of the work fully applies to relations arising in connection with the protection of copyright on the title of the work, its parts and characters. Conclusions: formulated in the jurisprudence, the criterion of “recognition” for determin ing the patentability of the product, its title and characters, contradicts the principle of a method for automatic protection of the work, negates its value, so it can lead to the imbal ance of rights of copyright relations participants.
