There is no particular action plan on intellectual property rights enforcement in the Russian Federation. Every competent body has a goal to promote end increase the protection of IPR. However, some initiatives have recently been realized. First of all, the creation in March 2013 of the Intellectual Property Arbitration Court. The second initiative is the fight against internet piracy. The first step was done in July with the adoption of Federal Law No. 187-ФЗ. The new "Antipiracy Law" introduces the principle of liability of internet service providers, mechanisms for blockage of illegal content by a court decision. For the moment, the scope of the Law is limited to films, but different amendments concerning the extension of scope of protection are in the stage of public discussions.

According to Article 1232 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter – CC RF) in cases when the result of intellectual activity or means of individualization is subject to state registration, alienation of the exclusive right to such result or such means by contract, pledge of this right, and grant of the right of use of such result or such means by contract, and likewise also the transfer of the exclusive right to such result or such means without a contract are subject to state registration. Exclusive rights to such objects of intellectual property as inventions, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks and service marks (hereinafter – trademarks) shall be recognized on the condition of their state registration. Regarding computer programs, databasesand topology of integrated circuits state registration is conducted at the option of the rightholder. Thus currently in the Russian Federation subjects to state registration are contracts for the alienation of the exclusive right to an invention, utility model, industrial design, computer program, database, topology of integrated circuit and contracts for grant of the right of use (including license contracts and franchise) and contract for the pledge of an exclusive right to invention, utility model, industrial design, trademark, topology of integrated circuit. Order and terms of state registration of the four abovementioned types of juridical facts are established by the Government of the Russian Federation. In regard to objects of copyrights and related rights which do not need to make state registration, it is stipulated in Article 1259 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Article 1233 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides two kinds of contract on the disposal of an exclusive right by rightholder: Contract for the Alienation of an Exclusive Right (Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Article 1234) and License Contract (License Contract, Article 1235). License Contract provided in Article 1234 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation Contract for the Alienation of an Exclusive Right provide author's (rightholder's) possibility to transfer (alienate) the exclusive right belonging to him to a result of intellectual activity or a means of individualization in full scope to the other party (the recipient) that means absence of the copyright to use transmitted the result of intellectual activity in any way subsequently. By a contract for the alienation this right shall pass to the recipient acquiring the result of intellectual activity. In Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that a license contract (on submitting of an exclusive license or nonexclusive license). Such kind of contract is widely used in all countries as the rightholder's method of disposal of exclusive rights whereby the licensor (rightholder) saves the exclusive right to a result of intellectual activity and the licensee may use the specific result of intellectual activity in stipulated ways on certain territory by certain terms. Conclusion of License Contract shall entail a transition of the exclusive right to the licensee. In case the author (rightholder) concludes a contract about alienation of the exclusive right to the result of intellectual activity or to the means of individualization with whom provide a procedure of state registration, than this contract also needs to state registration. Mandatory state registration are required only in the Patent Rights Object (CC RF, Chapter 72), Achievements of Breeding (CC RF, Chapter 73), Means of Individualization (CC RF, Chapter 76). According contracts about alienation of the exclusive right to the indicated result of intellectual activity shall be subject to state registration also (paragraph 2 of Article 1232 of the CC RF). Contracts about alienation of the exclusive rights to copyright or related right are not subject of state registration.

If authors (rightholders) conclude License Contracts about granting right to use the result of intellectual activity which needs to state registration, this contract also needs to state registration. Currently subjects of state registration are license contracts for the rights of use of an invention, utility model, industrial design, trademark, and topology of integrated circuit (paragraph 2 of Article 1232 CCRF). That being said, it is worth noting that there is a pending project of Federal Law No. 47538-6 under consideration by the State Duma of the Federal Assembly « Introducing Amendments to the First, Second, Third and the Fourth Parts of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and ndividual legislative acts of the Russian Federation», developed by the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation on codification and improvement of civil legislation (hereinafter – CC RF Project) CC RF Project suggests radical changes to state registration of contracts for the disposition of the exclusive right to objects of intellectual property. In developing the CC RF Project, provisions of the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks ratified by Federal Law No.98-FZ d.d. 23.05.2009 «On Ratification of the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks» were considered. According to CC RF Project state registration of the grant of the right of use of an invention, utility model, industrial design, computer program, topology of integrated circuit, and trademark by a license contract can be conducted on the request of the parties without providing the contract itself.

A film (audiovisual work) is an independent complex object of author rights (Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Article 1259). According to paragraph 1 of Article 1240 of the CC RF a person who has organized the creation of a complex object including several protected results of intellectual activity (e.g. the film) shall obtain the right of use of these films on the basis of contracts (for the alienation of the exclusive right or license contracts) concluded with the rightholders on the respective results of intellectual activity, which had been used in the process of creation of the film. Herewith License Contract about granting right to use (e.g. a music in the film) recognized be invalid in case if such contract contains limiting to use music in the film. Specified positions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation correspond to positions of subparagraph (b) of paragraph 2 of Article 14 bis of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works from 9th September 1886 (farther Berne Convention) which establishes that in the countries of Berne Union where legislation recognize authors as primary possessor of copyrights about author's cinematographic work who brought creative contribution in creation of this work; if they pledged to bring creative contribution in creation of cinematographic work and they have not some restrictive or special conditions, these authors may not prevent to use cinematographic work for reproduction, spreading, public presentation and performance, report along wires for general information, broadcast on the air or another public report the work, and also forbid a subtitling and a duplication text of cinematographic work. Thereby author of music may conclude with a person who has organized the creation of a complex object License Contract about the use of his musical work in complex object, e.g. in the film, or contract for the alienation the exclusive right by created musical work. In case when concluding License Contract with author of musical work are used in the film, author of music grant to producer of film right to use his musical work in the film in all methods of use the film including public performance (in case of use in cinema, for example), communication over the air or by the cable. Moreover in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 1263 of the CC RF composer shall keep the exclusive right to his work and may use his work in any method not prohibited by law, if he hadn't transfer exclusive right to his work to the preparer in full. The procedure of Conclusion a Contract for the alienation the exclusive rights of the musical work is use when a musical work is created spatially for being included in audiovisual work.

In Article 1245 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation rightholders who have the right to compensation for free reproduction of phonograms and audiovisual works exclusively for personal purposes are authors (authors of musical works (music and text) fixed in the phonograms and authors of audiovisual works); performers (performers who fixed their performance in the phonograms and performers who fixed their performance in the audiovisual works); preparers of phonograms and preparers of audiovisual works who have the exclusive rights acting (have recognized) on the territory of the Russian Federation in accordance with Articles 1256, 1321 and 1328 of the Civil Сode of the Russian Federation.

With respect to computer programs and databases, registration is possible in accordance with subparagraph 2 of paragraph 4 of Article 1259 and Paragraph 1 of Article 1262 CC RF. Such registration is not right-establishing and is optional. If the rightholder has registered a computer program or a database in the Federal body of executive authority for intellectual property, contracts for the alienation of the exclusive right to a computer program or database as well as passage of the exclusive right to such program or database are subject to registration in the Federal body of executive authority for intellectual property (Paragraph 5 of Article 1262 CCRF) Article 1249 CC RF does not provide any provisions on registration of computer programs or database or connected legally significant actions being obligatory. The article considers fees collected for the taking of legally significant actions connected with state registration of computer programs, databases, contracts for the alienation of the exclusive right to a computer program or database as well as passage of the exclusive right to such program or database (paragraph 1 of Article 1249 CC RF) Unlike other results of intellectual activity or means of individualization, registered in the Federal body of executive authority for intellectual property, fees for which are set by the Government of the Russian Federation, fees connected with computer programs, databases and topology of integrated circuits are established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and levies. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation establishes a list of legally significant actions for the taking of which state fees shall be collected, their amounts, procedure and times for payment, and also the bases for freeing from payment of the state fees, reduction of their amounts, postponement of payment or return of fees.

Limitations and restrictions from rightholder's exclusive rights were formulated in Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works from 9 September 1886 (Berne Convention). In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 9 of Berne Convention members have right to foresee in national legislation the restrictions of rights for reproduction of literary and artistic works on condition that in national legislation shall be indicated cases of such restrictions and it shall not cause harm to normal exploitation of works and infringe author's legal interests.

Section 6 of Chapter 71 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation dedicated to publisher's right to works of Scholarship, Literature and Art. According to Article 1337 CC RF publisher is the citizen who lawfully made public or organized the making public of a work of scholarship, literature, or art previously not made public and that has gone into the public domain (Article 1282 CC RF) or that is in the public domain by virtue of the fact that it is not protected by copyright. Author or other person with author's consent have the right to make the work public according to Article 1268 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. In this case if author during the life did not made public his work himself or not gave consent to do such actions to other person (also in case if author did not lived any prohibition during his life) than such work may be made public by author's successor during the period of validity of exclusive right to work. Upon the expiration of the time period of effectiveness of the exclusive right, a work including previously unpublished, shall enter the public domain and may be used freely by any person without any consent or permission and without payment of author's compensation in accordance with Article 1282 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. For purpose of making public of previously unpublished works Division 6 of Chapter 71 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides other persons possibility to make public of work after termination of guarding of exclusive rights in case of absence author's written prohibition such work.

Publisher's exclusive right to work coincides with habitual copyright to use work in content, only with taking of right to translate, recast and realize an architectural, designer, town-planning landscape project. In this way publisher of work may not control of use of work in translated or reprocessed form. Outside publisher's sphere of control is spreading of original or exemplars of work are imposed in civil use (principle of depletion of rights) lawfully. Publisher's right in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is right that not make damage to author's interests and to his successor.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation establishes several important requirements about object of publisher's right:  It shall be work of scholarship, literature or art;  This work shall be recognized as object of copyright in accordance with acting Russian legislation;  It shall not be made public previously;  The work shall not be in state and municipal archives;  The work shall be made public firstly on the territory of the Russian Federation or beyond the boundaries but by citizen of the Russian Federation. Replacement of terms in comparison with Article 1281 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in Article 1240 indicated do not happen. Introduction in Russian legislation of publisher's rights are stipulate for necessity of cultural development of society in relations with promulgation of work of Scholarship, Literature and art previously unpublished that is mean unknown till this event and for encouragement of persons who made these work are known for society (made them promulgation – public). The work which have expired term of exclusive right enters to the public domain that is mean it may be used freely by any person without any consent or permission and without payment of author's compensation.

In other cases the exclusive right to works made public or existing in some objective form beyond the boundaries of the Russian Federation and shall be recognized, in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation, for authors (or their legal successors) who are citizens of other states. Herewith the time period of the exclusive right established in the country of origin of the work may not exceeds the time period of the exclusive right to these works in the Russian Federation. In case if the time period of the exclusive right in the country of origin of the work has expired and the exclusive right have entered the public domain than this work enters the public domain in the Russian Federation too.
