Abstract

The article reveals the actual problems of medical reform in Ukraine, particularly the intellectual property rights as the basis for the legalization of treatment methods, medicines and medical instruments. The mentioned objects of intellectual property are of great social importance, since they are intended for the treatment of the population and provide for the right to life and health. The author analyzes the norms of domestic and international law, in particular the requirements for the recognition of copyright in the field of medicine, as well as clarifies the classification of objects of intellectual property rights. The intellectual property rights tools for copyright enforcement are investigated. The author pays specific attention to patenting, because it is through this mechanism that one can protect the right of intellectual property to a medicinal product or a method of treatment, and have copyright both on the release form and the chemical composition of the pharmaceutical product. The author defines the application mechanism of the methodology of intellectual property rights as a complex of special procedures and measures that apply not only to the marketing and capitalization of medical business, but also serve as a means for providing domestic medicine with high-quality pharmaceutical products and involving modern methods of treatment.
