The Kyiv School of Image Recognition developments and the legal basis for the application of FRT in Ukraine are analyzed, and the author’s definition of FRT used in real-time to identify, authenticate, and verify a person as a biometric system controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) is presented.The state of compliance with the legislation requirements on personal data protection in Ukraine, their legal protection during video surveillance, social effect (almost 30% of crimes are solved applying FRT, in areas where automatic video recording systemsare installed, the number of deaths has decreased by three times), reforms of the national personal data protection system is studied. Risks and challenges arising from the lack of proper regulation of FRT in Ukraine are identified, and their solutionsare suggested. It is concluded that the FRT is becoming an instrument of geopolitical influence. The field of AI inevitably becomes a sphere of both scientific and technological competition as well as military and political confrontation.The application of biometric technologies is now trending. It provides access to workplaces and network resources, protection of information, access to specific resources and security at airports. For example, e-business and e-state affairs operationsare only possible after following specific personal identification procedures. Biometric technologies are currently used in banking security, investment and other financialtransactions, as well as in retail, law enforcement, health care and social services.It should be noted that there are two vectors of FRT development in the world. The totalitarian path of mass surveillance, accompanied by equally active manipulation and abuse, and the democratic one, offering an application of FRT as an instrument to prevent the violation of fundamental human rights. At the same time, no one demands to abandon FRT completely. It is a question of assessing the risk of its impact on people’s lives. The remote biometric identification, in which the AI can contributeto unprecedented change, bears an extremely high risk of profound and undemocratic interference in people’s privacy. Specific ways of using technology can benefit society and individuals, while others may have negative consequences.

Keywords: defence capability, intellectual property, regulatory and legal support,armament and military equipment, military-technical cooperation The condition of regulatory and legal support of defencecapability of Ukraine and problems concerning protection of intellectual propertyand protection of state interests in this sphere are investigated. The importance ofprotection of intellectual property rights to ensure the enhancement of the state's defencecapabilities is noted.Ensuring Ukraine’s defence capability largely depends on equipping the ArmedForces of Ukraine with modern types and models of armaments and military equipmentdeveloped on the basis of the intellectual property rights.It is the military-technical sphere where the objects of intellectual property rightsbelonging to the sphere of national security and defence are created, and the state isobliged to ensure their protection. This will increase the competitiveness of the domesticdefence industry and make it impossible for anyone in the mass production ofarmaments and military equipment for their own needs and for exports, that directlyaffects defence capabilities.This requires proper protection of intellectual property rights both in the processof own production of weapons and military equipment, and in military-technical cooperation.The legislation of Ukraine on national security and defence determines the need touse scientific and technical achievements and the introduction of new technologies toincrease the state's defence capabilities. However, the issue of intellectual property,which is the basis of these achievements and technologies, is not raised. It is notedonly that the acquisition, security, protection of intellectual property rights to scientificand technical (applied) results are carried out in accordance with the law, and incase of infringement of intellectual property rights is protected in the manner prescribedby administrative, civil and criminal law.Thus, all issues related to the defence and protection of intellectual property rightsmust be resolved within the framework of special legislation on intellectual property.Recommendations for improving the regulatory and legal support of Ukraine's defencecapabilities with a purpose of solution of intellectual property issues in this areaand compliance with national interests and security of the state on intellectual propertyrights in the development of armaments and military equipment, as well as internationalmilitary-technical cooperation were submitted.

It is notedonly that the acquisition, security, protection of intellectual property rights to scientificand technical (applied) results are carried out in accordance with the law, and incase of infringement of intellectual property rights is protected in the manner prescribedby administrative, civil and criminal law.Thus, all issues related to the defence and protection of intellectual property rightsmust be resolved within the framework of special legislation on intellectual property.Recommendations for improving the regulatory and legal support of Ukraine's defencecapabilities with a purpose of solution of intellectual property issues in this areaand compliance with national interests and security of the state on intellectual propertyrights in the development of armaments and military equipment, as well as internationalmilitary-technical cooperation were submitted.","PeriodicalId":356184,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Practice of Intellectual Property","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124898045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Keywords: intellectual property, codification, human rights, private interests, publicinterests, exclusions, medicines, patents The article concerns the expediency of codificationof legislation in the field of intellectual property on the basis of the principles ofpolicy development of pharmaceutical nationalism or pharmaceutical independence ofthe state. Modernity encourages to determine the principles of intellectual propertylaw on the basis of «collective knowledge», to put the intellectual property right toserve the interests of society and provide appropriate incentives for scientific activity.The new spirit of intellectual property dictates the policy of introducing exceptions tointellectual property rights for objects used in the fight against COVID-19.Special attention should be paid to the formation in the world, on the one hand, ofa policy of «pharmaceutical nationalism», which provides for protectionism in relationto the national producer, and on the other — the policy of priority of public interestsover intellectual property rights. Today, this issue is particularly acute in the contextof limited access to vaccines against the background of free production sites of genericcompanies. Therefore, when determining the conceptual approaches to the codificationof legislation in the field of intellectual property, the international experience ofmaintaining such a balance should be taken into account.The path of harmonization of human rights and intellectual property rights hascertain social and economic obstacles, overcoming which requires significant efforts ofpublic organizations, rethinking the established paradigms of the scientific communityand the political will of international organizations.

In the Civil Code of Ukraine relations in the field of intellectualproperty were first fixed in a separate structural part (book 4 «Intellectual PropertyRights»), which indicates their importance to private law.Further improvement of the normative array in the field of protection of the results ofcreative activity should provide for the specification of the provisions of the Civil Code ofUkraine at the level of laws and by-laws, aimed at the formation of reliable legal mechanismsfor the implementation and protection of intellectual property rights. However,only now changes have been made to special laws in the field of intellectual property. In2014, Ukraine signed an Association Agreement with the EU.
