Abstract:
The purpose of research. The article deals with the problem of determining the criteria for copyright protection of works as the results of creative activity. The article analyzes the concept of originality as the main feature of creativity and its interpretation in the judicial practice of Russia, France and Great Britain. The development of a unified concept of originality is necessary to develop a unified approach to providing legal protection to the results of intellectual activity in the field of copyright. Results. Based on the study of the approaches of the courts of France and Great Britain to the concept of originality, it is concluded that the anthropocentric concept of copyright, which protects the result of human creative activity, dominates in these countries. Determining the originality of a work depends on the personality of its author and requires either minimal effort, when the result of creative activity should not be an act of simple copying, or the expression of the author's personality in the work. In both cases, there are difficulties in determining the presence of originality in works that do not have authorship, or whose author is not known. In this regard, it is proposed to understand originality as an objective criterion for the legal protection of a work related to the latter, which means that there is a random choice of creative nature when creating a work.
