Abstract

This Law regulates social relations arising in the field of scientific and technical activities related to creation and use of scientific intellectual property objects as one of the types of intellectual property. Scientific intellectual property is the ownership of the results of scientific research, design, survey, development and experimental technological work. Scientific intellectual property includes expressed in objectified forms intermediate, final and collateral results of scientific works. Objects of scientific intellectual property can be presented in any form, applied to any data storage devices currently known or to be created in the future. The right of scientific intellectual property consists of recognized and protected by law the owner's ability to own, use and dispose of at his own discretion objectified in various forms by the results of scientific works. No one can use them without permission of the owner. The exercise of scientific intellectual property rights must serve humane purposes, not to violate the rights and legally protected interests of the state, citizens, enterprises, institutions, organizations and not to cause damage to the surrounding environment. Subjects of scientific intellectual property law can be natural persons and legal entities of Turkmenistan and foreign states, and international organizations. The right to scientific intellectual property may arise on the basis of a contract (agreement) of the customer and the contractor regarding the production of scientific works and the receipt of certain scientific results. Protection of scientific intellectual property rights is carried out in court. Dispute settlement also resolves all issues of compensation to the owner in full of inflicted losses.
