As digital media give increasing power to users—power to reproduce, share, remix, and otherwise make use of content—businesses based on content provision are forced to either turn to technological and legal means of disempowering users, or to change their business models. By looking at Lockean and Kantian theories as applied to intellectual property rights, we see that business is not justified in disempowering users in this way, and that these theories obligate e-business to find new business models. Utilitarian considerations support disempowering users in this way in some circumstances and for the time being, but also show that there is a general obligation to move to new business models. On these moral bases, as well as on practical bases, e-business ought to refrain from using the legally permitted strong copyright protections, and should instead find ways of doing business which support, value, and respect the technical capabilities that users have gained.

Yarmoliuk A. Open innovation in terms of legal protection of intellectual property. The author notes that according to the latest global trends in the development of intellectual property rights, business entities operate in the context of radical changes taking place in most sectors of the economy. As new breakthrough technologies and subjects of innovative activity appear. The article emphasizes that this perspective envisages the transition of Ukraine to a new production system, which requires institutional changes. According to the author, today there is also a tendency to reduce the life cycle of innovations, increase the speed of implementation of new developments and strengthen the trends of digital transformation. Therefore, the digitalization of the economy requires the involvement of new forms of cooperation with open innovations including new business models for the use of intellectual property. The article notes that intellectual property, in turn, plays a key role in the development of innovation. At the same time, the importance of intellectual property within the model of open innovation changes with the transformation of economic processes into a creative economy. Today, there is an extremely low level of implementation of creative innovative developments, which indicates the ineffectiveness of the strategy for commercialization of research results. As the author emphasizes, the open innovation model is aimed at solving this problem. Exactly the exchange of knowledge and new results between innovative enterprises and their partners is a major lever for further creative innovation. Therefore, the author determines that effective legal protection of intellectual property plays a key role in promoting innovation within the concept of open innovation. Innovative technologies have been successfully commercialized with the strategic use of intellectual property rights. As indicated in the article, intellectual property also significantly enhances the competitiveness of innovative enterprises, preserves their innovative advantages, and facilitates the process of bringing innovative technologies created under the open innovation model to the market.Keywords: open innovation, intellectual property rights, intellectual property, innovative enterprise, «smart city»

In fact, many Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs/UMKM) are not yet aware of the importance of branding for competitiveness and not aware of the importance of protecting intellectual property rights and more focused on aspects of product sales. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs/UMKM) play an important and strategic role in building the national economy. Seeing the fairly good conditions above, it turns out that the existence of Coffee MSMEs in Wonogiri Regency, Central Java still has several obstacles, namely in branding / promotional media and also protection of Trademark Intellectual Property Rights. Because it is very important for every Coffee MSME to have a strategy and approach that is clear and unique to an identity to be poured into branding through social media or other digital media. To strengthen coffee MSMEs in Wonogiri Regency, one of the important strategies to implement is to provide awareness dissemination of the importance of branding/brands for MSMEs and also assistance in branding through social media as the identity of MSMEs. Branding strategies need to be done in order to build the image and identity of the products produced by MSMEs that are able to influence consumers to have positive perceptions of the products, characters, abilities, appearance and offers that are being promoted. The last most important problem for MSME actors is that there is no awareness of the importance of legal protection regarding Intellectual Property Rights regarding Trademarks, Copyrights, and Industrial Designs. So there is a concern that the product is plagiarized by others or is prosecuted legally because there are products that have the same trademark.

The scientific article examines the modern mechanism of protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine. Attention is paid to the historically first using of the concept of intellectual property rights in international law and the shortcomings of this definition. The legal definition of this concept contained in the Civil Code of Ukraine is analyzed. It is concluded that the legislative enshrinement of intellectual property rights is evidence of its recognition by the state, and such a right applies to special objects, the list of which is enshrined at both national and international levels. The question of the relationship between the concepts of "protection" and "defense" of civil rights is covered. The main groups of approaches of scientists to the solution of this problem are indicated. An approach that defines "protection" as a general concept for "defense" is supported, where "protection" is a broader concept that covers the term "defense". Emphasis is placed on the fact that although these legal categories are related, they cannot be identified. The main features that distinguish these concepts are listed, and the features of "defense" as an independent concept are highlighted. There are given examples of definition of the concept of protection of intellectual property rights given by scientists. Based on these definitions, the main features of this term are summarized. The issue of forms of protection (jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional) has been studied. The general and special order within the jurisdictional form is distinguished. It is noted about the peculiarities of self-defense as a non-jurisdictional form. The focus is on the judicial (general) procedure for protection of intellectual property rights as the main one. Possible ways of protection (civil, administrative, criminal, and criminal) are analyzed. The problems and shortcomings of the current system of legal protection and protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine are analyzed. Both reports from international partners and research by Ukrainian scientists were used. The authors outline ways to solve existing problems.
