In the article, the author examines time, content and object boundaries of exclusive rights to computer programs. It has been substantiated that the meaningful boundaries of exclusive rights should be established through a closed list of cases of free use. At the same time, the balance sheet doctrine of fair use, supplemented by the concepts of “transformative use”, cannot serve as a tool for establishing such boundaries. At the same time, in order to resolve atypical conflicts of interest arising in relation to a specific object of copyright between a person interested in access to such an object and the rightholder, standards for assessing the behavior of the rightholder should be developed – special (in relation to Article 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) limits for the implementation of exclusive right. With regard to the object boundaries of rights to computer programs, it was concluded that they are established by means of the “traditional” concept of copyright “protected form – unprotected content” and the doctrine of “essential part”. The principle of exhaustion of rights should not apply to such objects.

The article of one of the most prominent contemporary representatives of “bewegliches System” conception of private law regulation provides a thorough examination of factors influencing the leading approachs to assessment of fault in german speaking jurisdictions. The author comes to conclusion that unconditional adherence to unified (either subjective or objective) approach shall not attend to the ends pursued by particular intitutions aggregated under the name of civil liability, whereas the ethically underpinned concept of liability requires subjective approach as a general rule for noncontractual liability.

The article discusses the reasonableness of introducing into Russian law a new limited real property right to the land plot – the building right, proposed for adoption in the bill on the property law reform. Based on the analysis of the recent case law related to the lease for construction purposes, the author compares this institution with the new building right, examines the shortcomings of the lease and assesses how the building right, as it is drafted in the bill, may contribute to their elimination. The author also assesses the prospects for the property law reform and provides suggestions for possible revision of the regulation of the building right provided for in the bill.

The article focuses on the significant heterogeneity of the measures taken for the harmonization and unification of the contract law. Today, this heterogeneity is often being forgotten when the measures are presented as an integral whole. While each of the work directions has deep historical roots, which often predetermine the inability to develop a unified approach to these processes.

The purpose of the study is to determine the basis of the occurrence and the legal nature of the obligation of a representative without authority in case of refusal to approve the contract conducted by him. To achieve this purpose, the author turns to the history of para. 1 p. 1 and p. 3 of Art. 183 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and identifies the theoretical model that underlies these prescriptions. The legal regulation of the obligation of the representative was borrowed by the domestic legislator from the draft and the final text of the German BGB. The prescriptions for this undertaking were formed as a result of a heated debate that unfolded in the second half of the 19th century among German civil law experts. They developed the basic theories of an obligation of a representative without authority: a theory of tort liability, a theory of obligation from a guarantee agreement, a theory of pre-contractual liability and a theory of obligation to protect trust. The last theory turned out to be the most viable and was enshrined in the final version of § 179 BGB, and therefore in the paragraphs of Art. 183 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The essence of this theory is that if a representative without authority concludes a contract on behalf of the principal who then refuses to approve, then a representative has an obligation to compensate a third party (counterparty) for property damage; this obligation follows from the prescription of the law and the trust of a third party in the existence of authority that the representative shows, regardless of the representative’s fault. The obligation of the representative without authority is not a tort liability or obligation from the guarantee agreement; this obligation is precontractual in nature, however, it cannot be considered as liability for unfair negotiation, as it arises without the fault of the representative. The theory of obligation to protect trust has not been well covered in Russian literature. The few domestic authors who answer the question about the basis of the occurrence and the legal nature of the obligation of a representative are supporters of the theory of tort liability, the theory of obligation from a guarantee agreement or the theory of pre-contractual liability.

Civil rights protection is an independent sphere of legal activity where subjective civil rights and powers of state and local self-government bodies and their officials are implemented. Ensuring compliance (coherence, balance) of the implementation of civil rights and individual public powers with the norms(s) of the law is achieved by means of limits (rules) judicial and non-judicial protection. The limits of protection are a system concept that combines the (internal) limits (rules) of the exercise of subjective civil rights (art. 10 of the civil code of the Russian Federation) and (external) limits (rules)of the authority granted (in the proper administrative procedure). They are considered together and characterize the officially established order of protection. When resolving complex issues of law enforcement related to the type of legal proceedings, the choice of the form and appropriate method of protection, etc., the limits allow you to avoid and (or) minimize the possible risks of adverse consequences in the implementation of the right to protection. At the stages of applying, securing and restoring the violated (disputed) right, the limits determine the sequence of implementation of the methods (means) of protection, the model of behavior, the scope of actions (inaction) of the counterparty, etc.
