Civil Liability for Violation of Industrial Property Rights

The paper deals with conceptual issues of legal liability, in particular civil liability, in the field of industrial property. It is noted that the institution of legal responsibility is subject to new theoretical and legal comprehension due to its interdisciplinarity and intersectoral nature. The author argues that the origins of the problem of legal responsibility for violation of rights to intellectual property, including industrial property, come from social and legal responsibility, provided we rely on the positive component of legal responsibility. The author examines the types of civil liability for violation of rights to industrial property objects and determines topical problems of protection of industrial property rights. The paper focuses on the issue of legal responsibility in the field of intellectual property created by artificial intelligence. Intellectual property rights are subject to protection both according to the standard procedure and special rules. In judicial practice, the compensatory nature of civil liability is applied to the infringement of intellectual rights, as evidenced by the proceedings of the court case in the framework of the arbitration process concerning the refusal to compensate for losses in the form of lost profits. The law does not provide for the list of admissible evidence (legal test), on the basis of which the fact of violation of intellectual property rights is established.
