Intellectual property

  • lack of consistency and legal continuity of the existing law on intellectual property with old legislation of the Russian Federation;
  • questions of interaction with organizations which manage copyrights and/or allied rights of the particular rightholders on a collective basis by virtue of an agreement or an Accreditation Certificate (Russian Author's Society (RAO), Russian Society for Performer's Right Protection (ROUPI), All-Russian Society of intellectual property (VOIS);
