Résumé documentaire — langue originale

<jats:p>The article examines the theoretical and legal aspects of the abuse of intellectual property rights, as well as the peculiarities of distinguishing the lawful exercise of exclusive rights from their bad-faith use. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the legal nature of abuse of rights as an independent legal phenomenon arising from the conflict between the formal lawfulness of exercising a subjective right and its functional inconsistency with the purpose, social role, and protective function of intellectual property law. It is substantiated that, within the field of intellectual property law, abuse of rights acquires particular complexity due to the exclusive nature of the rights vested in the right holder, which creates potential opportunities for using exclusive rights not only as a means of protecting the results of intellectual and creative activity, but also as an instrument of anti-competitive, procedural, or informational influence. The article analyzes doctrinal approaches to understanding the category of abuse of rights, its essential characteristics, as well as the most common forms of abuse of exclusive rights in the context of digitalization. The study proposes an authorial classification of forms of abuse of intellectual property rights based on their functional orientation and identifies the distinctive features of competitive, procedural, digital, and innovation-restrictive forms of abuse. Furthermore, the concept of the functional deviation of an exclusive right is substantiated as a universal theoretical and legal criterion for qualifying the abuse of intellectual property rights. The research employs the systemic method, which made it possible to consider the abuse of intellectual property rights as a holistic multi-level legal phenomenon combining private-law and competition-related dimensions. The comparative legal method was used to compare the general doctrine of abuse of rights with the specific features of its implementation in the field of intellectual property. The doctrinal analysis method was applied to examine approaches to determining the legal nature of the abuse of intellectual property rights, while the method of generalization of law enforcement practice made it possible to identify contemporary trends in the transformation of forms of bad-faith exercise of exclusive rights in the digital environment. The theoretical significance of the study lies in deepening the scholarly understanding of the abuse of subjective intellectual property rights as an independent theoretical and legal category and in clarifying the criteria for distinguishing the lawful exercise of exclusive rights from their abusive use. The practical significance of the study lies in identifying legal mechanisms for counteracting the bad-faith use of exclusive rights, as well as in developing approaches to assessing the limits of the permissible exercise of intellectual property rights in the context of digitalization and the development of competitive relations.</jats:p>
