Abstract

The development of information and communication technologies, typical of the digital era, is accompanied by the emergence of new objects of civil relations. Some of such objects are the result of intellectual and creative activity and, consequently, become the subject of intellectual property rights. However, technology is developing faster than legislation. Therefore, many problems arise in the field of intellectual property due to contradictions and gaps in national legislation. This paper aims to identify the most important difficulties in the field of intellectual property and find ways to overcome them. The article pays special attention to the problems of copyright infringement on the Internet. The need for the development of virtual libraries is considered as one of the directions of knowledge dissemination with simultaneous protection of copyrights. The preventive means of copyright protection against infringement on the Internet are analyzed. It is concluded that, recently, the innovative or digital economy increasingly prevails over the industrial economy, which indicates the beginning of the transition to a digital society.
