Principle of Priority Observance of the Rights of Authors and Balance of Interests of Parties to Civil Legal Relations

Relevance. The author researches the legislation stipulated a set of provisions that give priority to the interests of the author in addressing issues related to the use of works, payment of remuneration, limitations of liability, and notes that the consolidation of such provisions can be considered as a manifestation of the general principle of priority observance of the rights of authors. The article notes that the author should be protected as a "weak party" of arising civil legal relations, but his interests should not be absolutized, in this regard it is necessary to search and establish a reasonable balance of interests of the author and other participants of civil circulation.
The purpose is to determine the meaning of the principle of priority observance of the rights of authors to ensure the balance of interests of participants in civil legal relations.
Objectives: to determine the specifics of enforcement of exclusive rights belonging to the author; to identify the contradictions between the interests of authors and other persons in the case of bankruptcy and liquidation of legal entities; to form the principle of priority respect for the rights of authors.
Methodology. In the process of working on the study were used methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of summary and grouping of information.
Results. The most acute contradiction between the interests of authors and other persons may manifest itself in the case of bankruptcy and liquidation of legal entities, when deciding on the possibility of transferring exclusive rights to works and the transfer of rights arising from licensing contracts concluded with the author.
Conclusion. The rights and legitimate interests of creditors must be taken into account in a way that does not lead to a violation of the rights of authors and their heirs, but the authors also do not have the right without sufficient grounds to reject the contracts concluded by them, to demand a revision of their conditions, if such a possibility is not provided by the concluded contracts or the provisions of the current legislation. It is on this basis of compliance with contractual terms and legal requirements that a compromise between different categories of interested parties can be reached.
