Abstract
The article examines the features of extended collective management of copyright and (or) related rights, as one of collective management types provided by the updated legislation of Ukraine in the study area. The author points out that the expanded collective management extends to the entire territory of Ukraine and is carried out on the property rights of all right holders in the relevant category in the areas for which the organization is accredited, including those who have not concluded an agreement on management of copyright and (or) related rights with an accredited organization, regardless of the method chosen by such right holders to manage their rights.

Among the areas of expanded collective management are: public performance of musical non-dramatic works with text and without text, including those works that are included in the audiovisual works; public announcement of musical non-dramatic works with and without text, including those works that are included in the audiovisual works, except for cable retransmission; the right to a fair remuneration, common to performers and producers of phonograms (videograms), for the public performance of phonograms and performances recorded in them or a public demonstration of videograms and performances recorded therein, published for commercial use; the right to a fair remuneration common to performers and producers of phonograms (videograms) for the public notification of phonograms and their recorded performances, videograms and fixed performances published for commercial purposes other than cable retransmission.

Analysing the areas of expanded collective management, the author concludes that the position of the legislator in the question of completeness of the list of such areas is right, although the areas themselves, in the author’s opinion, are not quite correctly defined. Agreed that expanded collective management somewhat limits the rights of the right holder, the list completeness of its application areas contributes to the clarity of its application and does not create risks of involving other areas by analogy. The author notes that for each area of extended collective management, one accredited organization is determined in the case of absence of any conflicts of interest between the main category of right holders, in whose interests such an organization operates, and other categories of right holders. The remuneration collection system during extended collective management is also analysed by the author.

Considerable attention in the study is paid to the issue of legal status and features of the additional accredited organization. Determinant in the issue of effective management of copyright and related rights is the right holder’s right to revoke his rights from an additional accredited organization.

Keywords: collective management of rights, copyright and related rights, extended management, organization of collective management, accreditation of the organization, remuneration, revocation of rights
