Abstract.

The most important vector of development of modern Ukraine is European integration, which determines the unification, implementation and harmonization of not only the rules of European law with the legal system of Ukraine, but also European views and principles. As defined in the Law of Ukraine “National Program for the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the legislation of the European Union”, the national policy of Ukraine aimed at the adaptation of legislation is formed as an integral part of the legal reform in Ukraine. It is focused on ensuring the unified approaches to legislative drafting and obligatory incorporation of legislative requirements of the European Union in the course of legislative drafting, training of skilled professionals and arrangement of proper conditions for institutional, research-and-education, lawmaking, technical and financial support of the process of adaptation of Ukrainian legislation. It is unmistakable that one of the key pillars of the modern economy of the European Union and therefore its legal system is the intellectual property right, as well as acquisition, unhindered and effective exercise and efficient protection of intellectual property rights.

Today, the statutory regulation and enforcement of the intellectual property relations in Ukraine enter into the tangible reformist spirit driven by the idea of harmonization of current Ukrainian legislation with the legislation of the European Union, as well as implementation of the Practice Cases of the European Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights. The insurance becomes particularly attractive in the process of search, substantiation and implementation of tools, procedures and measures that will promote the assertion of the principles of inviolability of intellectual property rights. The modern European experience demonstrates the effective use of insurance of intellectual property rights. For example, the Intellectual Property Office of the United Kingdom officially invites business entities to use the insurance of intellectual property rights for protection of their own interests. Since the 90’s of last century such currently known intellectual property insurance companies as Intellectual Property Insurance Service Corporation, SAMIAN, Camberford Law PLC, AON, Batterlеy Risk Consultants Ink and others operate in the United States and Europe.

The insurance as a comprehensive legal and financial system can propose to the holders of intellectual property rights the implementation of safety, enforcement and protection of their exclusive rights. In this context, importance is being increasingly attached to the disclosure of the content of the category of the insurance of intellectual property rights, which is proposed to consider from a mechanistic point of view through the disclosure of the content of insurance as a certain legal mechanism. The article defines the mechanism of intellectual property insurance as the regulation of social relations by the rules of insurance law arising from the implementation of an insurable interest in the satisfaction of person’s need for providing security of a certain benefit against the consequences of materialization of a foreseeable risk that can negatively affect this benefit, which is the intellectual property right to results of a person’s intellectual and creative activity in the field of intellectual property relations. A weighty conclusion in the matter of the mechanism of intellectual property insurance is not only the accentuation of relationships between such categories as insurance and intellectual property rights, but, perhaps most importantly, formation of additional directions both in lawmaking and in recodification of civil legislation on the way toward the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the legislation of the European Union.
