Abstract
This article analyzes the legal regulations concerning the patenting of the results of genomic research at the international, regional and national levels. The authors identify specific areas of copyright protection of the results of genomic research at universal and regional levels (for example, within the framework of integration organizations), as well as topical legal problems which recur in national legislation. The authors pay special attention to the analysis of judicial practice which illustrates patients’ rights (access to the information, the ability to use the results of genomic research, etc.) and the rights of participants carrying out genomic research. The article may be of interest to legal scientists, practitioners and specialists in human genome research (biomedicine, bioinformatics, medicine, human reproduction, etc.).
