Composite work as an object of intellectual property in the educational field

The relevance of the stated topic is due to the ongoing changes and transformations in the field of education, where the key factors are the commercialization and digitalization of education with the simultaneous expansion of subjects authorized to carry out educational activities. This also determines the presence of a large number of such objects of copyright, among which may, for example, be educational programs, advanced training courses, teaching materials, lecture courses, scientific publications, Internet sites, presentations, etc. Under these conditions, a variety of proposals is stated in the field of education, where composite works become the main content as a substantive element. The purpose of the study is to establish the main characteristics of a composite work as an object of intellectual property. The objectives of the study were such areas of work as identifying the characteristics of a composite work, identifying types of a composite work, its elements and content features, as well as analyzing law enforcement practice in considering disputes related to the rights to a composite work or its elements. The study of doctrinal approaches and materials from law enforcement practice revealed the presence of a group of general and special features. In the context of developing trends in informatization and digitalization, the issues of establishing a legal regime in relation to the results of intellectual activity of an educational nature posted on the Internet, especially video courses and websites as types of a composite work, are becoming more relevant.
