Voynikaynis E.A. Trends and methods of infl uence of globalization upon the regulation system of intellectual rights: theoretical aspects

Abstract: In the globalization era information and knowledge represent the cornerstone of economy, which defines the growing significance of regulating the intellectual rights. This article analyzes various approaches towards assessment of the role of intellectual property law in stimulation of the innovational development of economy, which testify to the ambiguity of the argument about the need to strengthen the protection of the right holders. The author demonstrates that the unification of international legislation in the area of intellectual property does not account for the specifics of the economic development of different countries and can lead to negative consequences. A flexible and differentiated approach towards the regulation of intellectual rights mostly corresponds to the nature of changes to the law under the effects of the globalization process. A special attention is given to the problem of correlation between intellectual rights and human rights, which under the conditions of globalization becomes extremely relevant. In the conclusion, the author analyzes the inconsistencies between the general tendencies of development of law in the era of globalization and the main trends of development within the regulation system of intellectual right, which allows us to come to a conclusion on the crisis of the current paradigm of intellectual rights.
