Background. Copyrights of the Russian Federation citizens are protected by the active legislation. Part 4 of the Civil code of the Russian Federation states that the citizen shall be recognized the author of the work if he/she is the one who created it. Herewith, citizens have copyright from the very moment of creation of the work. There is no need for obligatory registration or compliance with some special formalities for occurrence, implementation or protection of such rights. The main goal of the research is to analyse the existing problems concerning expansion of the list of notarial actions providing copyright protection.
Materials and methods. The article analyzes the Federal law from 21.12.2013 №379-FZ “On introduction of amendments in certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation, the Federal law from 29.12.1994 №77-FZ (edition from 11.07.2011) “On the obligatory copy of documents”, the Federal law “Basic legislation of the Russian Federation on the notarial system” (approved by the SUpreme Court of the Russian Federation on 11.02.1993 № 4462-1) (edition from 21.12.2013); the Decree of the Plenary session of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation № 5, the Plenary session of the Supreme Arbitral Court of the Russian Federation № 29 from 26.03.2009 “On some problems occurred following the enactment of Part 4 of the Civil code of the Russian Federation”; the Order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation from 10.04.2002 № 99 (edition from 16.02.2009) “On approval of the forms of registers to record notarial actions, notarial certificates and endorsements of certification on contracts and certified documents” (Registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation o 18.04.2002 № 3385); the Order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation from 15.03.2000 № 91 “On approval of methodological recommendations on improvement of certain types of notarial actions by the notaries of the Russian Federation”.
Results. It is evident that in conditions of development of legislation on intellectual property it is necessary to improve not just the normative legal acts, regulating types of protection and copyright fixation, but also the notaries’ activity.
Conclusions. Taking into account that notaries function in most municipal units and their services are available for population, it seems to be reasonable and logical to further expand the list of notarial actions providing copyrights protection. In conditions of information technologies development notaries shall have legislative additional permition to notarize copyrights, the moment of occurrence thereof including in the Internet. It is also reasonable to create additional instructions and explanations of copyright fixation procedures. The suggested changes will undoubtedly promote provision of copyrights and legal interests of authors.
