INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROBLEMS IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
This thesis examines key intellectual property challenges in the digital environment. The rapid expansion of information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, has significantly increased the use of copyright-protected works. However, legal mechanisms regulating these processes remain underdeveloped. The study focuses on issues such as the lack of contractual relations in the use of works in virtual environments, difficulties in determining authorship in judicial practice, and insufficient judicial specialization. Based on international experience, practical recommendations are proposed to strengthen intellectual property protection in Uzbekistan.
