Problems of protecting the intellectual rights of workers

The article examines the problems identified during the analysis of individual rules regulating relations on the protection of the intellectual rights of workers. Particular attention is paid to the issue of possible compatibility of terms used in labor and civil legislation. Problems related to the content and design of individual rules regulating the relations of workers engaged in intellectual activity (intellectual work) are identified. As a result of their analysis, it is proposed to combine in a separate chapter of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation the rules on the labor of workers performing a labor function related to intellectual (innovative, scientific and other creative) activities. In this chapter it is advisable to concentrate the norms that provide for both general provisions for these employees (on working hours, wages, labor protection) and special ones.
