The legal nature of relations arising among co-owners of the exclusive copyright

Introduction: the problem of identifying the nature of the legal relationship arising among persons jointly possessing the exclusive copyright is considered. In order to establish the type of legal connection among the coowners of the exclusive copyright, such methods of scientific knowledge as analysis, synthesis, analogy, the system-structural and dogmatic-legal methods are used. Results: it is proved that the criterion of dividing legal relations into absolute and relative ones should be recognized as the nature of the interaction of the right holder with other persons, given that the force of the subjective right is due and predetermined by its content. It is established that the joint owners of the exclusive copyright have both unidirectional and multidirectional interests. It is revealed that the settlement of different-vector interests characterizes the internal side of the interaction of the co-owners of the right. Conclusions: the author concludes that the relations arising among the co-owners of the exclusive copyright are relative, organizational in nature and are aimed at coordinating the interaction and coordination of the multi-vector will of the persons jointly possessing the exclusive copyright, in order to determine the legal fate of the right.
