Property rights to objects of related rights that constitute an official work under the legislation of Ukraine

The work is devoted to the study of property rights to objects of related rights created in the process of creating an official work. According to the current legislation of Ukraine, four objects of related rights are defined: a performance, a phonogram, a videogram, and a broadcasting organization program. The study of the question posed in the article is directly related to the understanding of the legal nature of the above­mentioned objects. In order to form an appropriate approach to understanding, the work considers the legally defined definitions related to these objects, the subject composition in relation to these objects, since the understanding of the primary subjects of adjacent rights is extremely important in the context of the ownership of property rights, which according to the current relevant legislation is a performer, a producer of a phonogram, a producer of a videogram, a broadcasting organization. At the same time, it should be noted that according to the current legislation, the producer of phonograms and videograms is understood as a natural and/or legal person who took the initiative to create the relevant objects and bears the corresponding responsibility for it. At the same time, we note that there is no legislative definition of the producer of the broadcasting organization program and the production of the broadcasting organization program in the relevant Law. When researching the objects of related rights, the question of the originality of the corresponding objects is analyzed, the creative contribution of employees in the creation of such objects as a phonogram, a videogram, a broadcast organization program is emphasized. The relationship between objects of neighboring rights and objects of copyright is analyzed. A thorough study of the moment of emergence and exercise of related rights is carried out. When analyzing the relevant legal norm, attention is drawn to the fact that the corresponding article refers to the relevant provisions of copyright in the context of official work, while such an object of related rights as a program of a broadcasting organization remains in this aspect outside the attention of the legislator. The author distinguishes between labor relations regulated by an employment contract (contract) for the creation of relevant objects and civil-law relations in connection with the creation of an object of intellectual property rights. And finally, the importance of researching the question posed in the article and the features that arise in relation to the relevant objects is directly related to the prospect of further research into such issues as the disposal of relevant property rights.
