TRANSFORMATION OF REGISTRATION OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM AS AN OBJECT OF COPYRIGHT

The article examines the features of the transformation of computer program registration as an object of copyright. The rapid development of the IT sphere requires adequate security of intellectual property rights. With the rapid development of the IT sector in the international context, the issues of copyright security, patenting and non-disclosure of personal data have become relevant. The research methodology involved the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, logical and system-structural analysis, control methods, structural-functional analysis in combination with the method of content analysis. Summarizing the analysis of legislation in the EU, there are many important points on which copyright and computer programs as an object of intellectual property differ. The question arises about the originality of a computer program, which is threatened by the use of pre-prepared tools for programming, as well as the impossibility of copyright protection to include an algorithm as the essence of the program. Another point is the exclusion of computer programs from the protection of patent law. And finally, the software industry itself chooses contractual protection over copyright protection. It remains an open question whether there are basic principles of copyright law that could be further adapted to computer programs, perhaps new dimensions that could be given to the licensing system. It is also a debatable issue — computer programs are probably not subject to copyright law or the law at all. The article comprehensively analyzes the modern view of intellectual property and copyright in IT outsourcing. The scale of unconventional challenges in the field of copyright security in the IT sphere is illustrated by the example of Ukraine. The case concerns the possibilities of improving the legal framework for the security of copyright of IT outsourcing experts. It is emphasized that the existing legal procedures and methods react more slowly to changes in the field of IT outsourcing than the fastest global trends in this field.
