If you have opened this book, then you are probably creating something - text, code, photos, music, or building your own business. This means that sooner or later someone without asking can take what you created and pass it off as their own. Or come to you with an accusation - for example, "You stole my idea!" Then you will need to protect your rights. And you can protect them if you know how. Can I get a picture from the Internet? If you were paid for the work, did you transfer the rights? Can someone take away your name or brand? The company "patented" the word - can it no longer be used? Why do we really need patents and trademarks? How to deal with plagiarists, pirates and competitors? How much can you really lose on fines? Is it possible to secure a comfortable old age by defending your intellectual property in courts? The book answers these and other questions in detail, with examples and references to Russian legal practice. Lawyer Aleksey Bashuk, together with Maxim Ilyakhov, the author of Write, Shorten, wrote a book to help everyone who earns money with their intellectual work. They describe in detail, competently and with an abundance of practical examples how intellectual property is protected in Russia.
