Abstract
An entrepreneur or other representative of the business environment producing and selling products (works, services) containing intellectual property objects must ensure the rights associated with them. This will protect investments in the results of intellectual activity, as well as means of individualization (trademarks, etc.), which will ensure the commercial success of the enterprise in the selected market segment, provide an opportunity for an economic entity to take more advantageous market positions compared to competitors and, as a result, increase the volume of production and sales of products (works, services) in the domestic and international markets. In accordance with Article 1225 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, protected intellectual property objects (IPO) include copyright and related rights. The purpose of the article is to identify the differences in terminology between the understanding of the definitions of "counterfeit goods (counterfeit)" and "falsified goods (counterfeit)", to study the requirements of the legislation of the EAEU and the Russian Federation in this area and to determine the directions for improving the efficiency of customs authorities in the field of protecting rights to IPO. The subject of the research is the study of the work of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation aimed at preventing violations in the field of intellectual property. The main research methods are the genesis of the essence and content of basic concepts, comparative analysis, generalization, etc. The results of the work illustrate the need for further development of product labeling, as well as the adoption of active measures to maintain the Unified Customs Register of Intellectual Property Objects of the EAEU Member States.
