Abstract

Problem setting. The legal science purpose is to develop a qualitatively modernized legal institution of technology transfer, which will combine private legal interests of a producer as well as a public interest of a state in extended penetration of these objects in the national economy of Ukraine.
Recent research and publications analysis. Researches in this direction have been done by many scientists in the field of the legal science as well as economics and public administration. It is worth mentioning papers of scholars such as Yu. Ye. Atamanova, K. Yu. Ivanova, O. V. Hladka, O. A. Pidopryhora, and O. D. Sviatotskyi. Nevertheless, there is no strict delimitation between the sense of a concept of technology as an object of economic and legal regulation and an invention as an object of an intellectual property right.
Paper objective. Indication of peculiarities of the legal status of inventions and technologies and development of recommendations on improvement of the current legislation of Ukraine are aims of the research.
Paper main body. As a result of peculiar combination of objects of intellectual property rights and their internal integration, the objects are enhanced and applied exactly as part of the technology. The invention should provide a new technical solution being unknown at a modern level of engineering. The invention is a component of the technology. It determines the main and determinative technical characteristics. At the doctrinal level these objects correlate as part of the whole.
Conclusions of the research. The technology is the combination of several objects of an intellectual property right as those have already got legal protection as well as those vested with the ability to be protected. An invention is always an integral object. All the
components of the technology are connected by the single functional purpose — production of goods and providing services. They encompass the whole production algorithm of this activity. The invention can be used only as part of a certain technological process and occasionally intermediate a whole production cycle. The combination is recognized as the technology in one of the following four cases: a technology application result is vested with properties, which haven’t been known before; a current level of technological development haven’t given an opportunity to obtain them; application of the technology enables to significantly cheapen a process of obtaining such a result; a result of such application is the new technology. The invention can provide neither significant economic nor significant technical results.
