Abstract
<\/strong>The possibility of using copyright in the economic activity of an individual entrepreneur and the conclusion by them of agreements on the disposal of copyright is not directly provided by law. Taking into account that the owners of copyright are only individuals and legal entities, the question of whether an individual entrepreneur may be a party to a contract aimed at the transfer of copyright or granting permission to use a work, or whether such contracts should be concluded by them only as a natural person, is relevant. This issue has not received proper doctrinal coverage and remains almost unexplored. Giving a clear answer to this question is very important in order to avoid mistakes in the contractual regulation of the relations and to find out whether the income received as a result of the disposal of copyright is included in the income of a physical person-entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was determined that the status of an entrepreneur is an additional legal status of a natural person, which is combined with their legal status of a person and a citizen. In economic relations, a natural person acts from the position of an entrepreneur, in any relations outside of entrepreneurship, as a person and a citizen. At the same time, entering into economic relations, the entrepreneur has all the civil rights previously acquired by them as an individual, and continues to acquire new civil rights as an individual, in particular, the copyright for new works. Being the subject of copyright as a natural person, an entrepreneur can use the corresponding work and dispose of the rights to it as individual entrepreneur without the need for additional documentation of the fact of copyright ownerships, in particular, without concluding an agreement on the transfer of these rights between him\/her as a natural person and him\/her as a natural person-entrepreneur. The remuneration received by a natural person-entrepreneur as a result of the disposal of copyright in their economic activity is included in their income as a natural person-entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A natural person-entrepreneur can alienate copyright on the basis of the relevant contract, as well as grant permission to other persons to use the work by virtue of ownership of copyright to them as natural persons and without any formalities. An individual entrepreneur may obtain permission to use a work from another person on the basis of a license agreement without any restrictions. The lack of legislative specification of this aspect gives rise to disputes about how the legal statuses of a natural person and a natural person-entrepreneur are combined and interact in economic activities related to the creation and use of works. In this regard, in the provisions of the Economic Code and the Civil Code, it is expedient to determine that an individual entrepreneur uses intellectual property rights in their economic activity, belonging to them as individuals and disposes of these rights, including the rights acquired by them as individuals as a result of the implementation of economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
