Intellectual Property in the System of Constitutional Order: Comparative Analysis

This article, using a comparative analysis of the development of intellectual property law, explores the current trends of constitutional and legal protection of intellectual property rights. It is concluded that the need to safeguard the rights of citizens, national security, creating an innovative economy defines the directions of the world constitutional development, one of which is the constitutionalisation of legal institution intellectual property rights. The author identifies the two major ways of constitutionalisation: legislative and interpretative. A subjective constitutional right to intellectual property performs a special "social function", which is to achieve an optimal balance between private and public interests. Constitutionalisation is a global trend of modern development of States, which is expressed in the universalization and strengthening of the constitutional values impact on institutions of different legal systems, which contributes substantially to their convergence. It is concluded that intellectual property is part of the basic constitutional principles of many foreign countries. Therefore, among the foundations of the constitutional system a new principle related to the development of relations should be allocated, including their facilitation, promotion, guaranteeing and support with a view to achieving economic and social progress of society, aimed at building the innovation (based on the knowledge economy) State.
