Abstract

The purposes of this research are to determine the legal status of intellectual property in the context of digital transformation; to analyse the role of innovative digital technologies in the legal regulation of intellectual property issues; to provide a detailed description of the measures of constitutional protection of intellectual property in the context of digital transformation in Ukraine; to systematize knowledge about constitutional guarantees of intellectual property protection; to determine the role of specialised courts in ensuring intellectual property protection; to provide specific proposals for the development of the legal framework for intellectual property protection. An important aspect of the current study is an in-depth analysis of the challenges and threats of digital transformation to intellectual property. In order to achieve this purpose, the following methods were used: the general philosophical method, the method of system analysis, synthesis, the dialectical method and the formal logical method, the method of deduction and induction. These methods have been used to formulate scientifically significant and practical conclusions on proposals for improving intellectual property legislation in line with the challenges and threats of digital transformation, as well as to provide interim conclusions in accordance with the research purpose.
