Abstract

In 2022, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation submitted a draft Federal Law "On Amendments to Article 1225 of Part Four of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (in part of expanding the list of protected results of intellectual activity in the form of non-fungible tokens)", providing for the expansion of the list of legally protected intellectual property. The draft federal law proposes to establish legal protection for copies of works of art in the form of non-fungible NFT tokens. In this regard, this article discusses the legal nature of copies of works of art in the form of non-fungible NFT tokens. The author notes that the creation and use of NFT-tokens of works of art is covered by the exclusive right to the work, while the creation of such a token does not actually lead to the creation of a new result of intellectual activity, and therefore the introduction of this legal novel seems disputable. At the same time, it is noted that since 2019 a new legal institution of digital rights has been developing in the Russian Federation, which legal nature seems to be closer to relations regarding the ownership and disposal of copies of works of art recorded in the form of non-fungible tokens.
