Possibilities of Blockchain Use for the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights
Abstract
The study analyzes the possibilities of blockchain use for copyright protection. Currently, the
legislation on copyright protection does not provide for blockchain use, without which copyright
protection is not ensured at the proper level. The study aims to substantiate the advisability of
blockchain use as a tool for protecting copyright. The analysis of the theoretical foundations and
practice of blockchain use allowed the authors to conclude the significant potential of its use in the
field of intellectual property in Russia. The advantages and main problems of this technology as an
instrument of copyright protection at the present stage are revealed. The introduction of the
blockchain into the field of intellectual property will make it possible to confirm the authorship of
works, dispose of copyrights and control their use, as well as receive remuneration for the use of
works. Reliable and secure technology allows authors, copyright holders, and consumers to interact
openly and transparently, without intermediaries, and also minimize time and financial costs, and
protect copyright. One of the pressing and most significant problems is the lack of legislative
consolidation of blockchain in Russia. The authors concluded that blockchain creates a new and
simpler tool for confirming authorship, disposition, and control over the use of works, which does not
replace the existing system of copyright protection, but supplements it.
