Global economy of the XXI century is characterised by qualitative transformations in determining the vectors of further development of economic progress. In this context, the importance of intellectual property is growing, and the creation of innovative technologies and cultural achievements, investments in intellectually intensive industries lose their economic sense if the rights to intellectual property are insecurely protected. Moreover, counteraction to violations of intellectual property rights in states will affect their investment attractiveness, their place in the global trading system, and the competitiveness of intellectual resources. All this determines the exceptional importance of protecting intellectual property, both for each individual person and for the state as a whole.

As a result of the comparative study, the following conclusions have been formulated: 1) at the present stage of development of society, one of the priority areas of state policy in the CIS countries is the protection of intellectual property rights; 2) the provision by the state of the appropriate level of legal protection of the results of intellectual activity, the high standards of protection of intellectual property rights that are adhered to and which the public can use, together indicate that the relevant state, at least in the field of intellectual property law, can be characterised as legal; 3) the protection of intellectual property in civil proceedings is a new and theoretically undeveloped issue for the science of civil law, and therefore needs further scientific research and reform of the legal regulation of relations in the field of intellectual property in the context of modern realities; 4) the implementation of methods for protecting intellectual property rights on the Internet in the territory of the CIS countries, as well as the introduction of preventive measures, is a very multifaceted issue, the solution of which on the territory of the studied states has not yet been found; 5) it is proposed and justified the feasibility of forming a transboundary group of experts of the CIS countries, the main vector of which would be the identification of problematic issues in the field of protection of intellectual property rights, as well as the creation of a single conceptual approach with an effective mechanism for testing it in the field of intellectual property protection, followed by its legalisation at national levels.
