The Exclusive Right and the Problems of Commercial Exploitation of Works

Relevance. The article analyzes the problems associated with the currently dominant in the Russian legal doctrine concept of a single and indivisible exclusive right. The negative impact of this approach on the commercial use of works, including the development of investment activities in accordance with the principle of "rights in exchange for investment" is demonstrated. The conclusion is substantiated that in order to solve the problems encountered, it is necessary to recognize and legislate the possibility to allocate shares in the exclusive right to a work, to establish the procedure for exercising the rights to such shares, the conditions of their allocation and alienation.
The purpose of the research is to develop theoretical provisions aimed at creating a holistic scientific understanding of the possibilities of further development of the legal regulation of relations related to the commercial use of works, including the improvement of the order and conditions of disposal of exclusive rights to works.
Objectives: to update the content of the concept of "exclusive right"; to develop a concept of rights realization, allowing the possibility of changing the composition of right holders in the joint ownership; to determine the principles of the allocation of shares in the exclusive right and the features of the realization of rights to them with regard to the need to commercialize the results of creative activity; to identify possible directions for further development of legal regulation.
Methodology. The author used dialectical-materialistic method, systematic method, methods of analysis and synthesis, formal-legal method. The results of the research have a theoretical and applied nature and are aimed at improving the quality of legal regulation of legal relations connected with the use of the results of intellectual activity.
Conclusions. The conclusions are of a debatable nature, aimed at the development of doctrinal and legislative approaches to improve the problems of regulation of relations on the use of the results of intellectual activity. The article is a continuation of scientific research of the author on the subject.
