Intellectual property (IP) plays a significant role in the modern economy, in particular in the digital field. Each country has its own system of intellectual property protection, which includes such basic types of intellectual property rights as utility models and patents (for inventions), trademarks, industrial designs, trade secrets, copyright and related rights. However, a feature of intangible assets is the ease of their distribution, including at the same time the distribution at the international and regional levels, where there are actively developing tools for harmonizing legislation. This process began in the XIX century with the adoption of the first international conventions in this area, and was continued with the creation of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
