Abstract

Pre-trial conflict resolution procedures do not cease to be in demand, and the development of their legal regulation does not lose its relevance. Disputes on protecting intellectual rights are no exception, and most countries have established special pre-trial procedures. However, specific difficulties emerge when applying the legal norms related to pre-trial conflict resolution procedures in disputes on the protection of intellectual rights, which can be clearly demonstrated while studying the Russian experience using the mentioned pre-trial procedures. The paper aims to analyze and define the peculiarities of pre-trial procedures in disputes on protecting intellectual rights in Russia. Using systemic approach, as well as comparative legal and formal legal analysis allowed author to define the peculiarities of pre-trial procedures in disputes on the protection of intellectual rights in the Russian Federation: special requirement on the mandatory pre-trial claim procedure is a departure from the general approach, according to which such procedure is required for disputes arising from transactions or unjust enrichment, and is probably due to the complexity of these disputes; in the administrative pre-trial procedure of dispute examination in the Chamber of Patent Disputes the parties have a wide enough set of procedural rights and opportunities, and the procedure is quite close to the judicial procedure, and in some respects even exceeds it.
