Abstract: The subject of the study is the insufficiently studied problem in the historical and legal science of the state-legal regulation of the processes of patent and licensing activities in the USSR, and especially the administrative and legal mechanisms of the formation of this activity in the first half of the 1960s. It was during this period that the Soviet State began to actively pay attention to the issues of patent protection of industrial products exported and the organization of patent business within the country. The paper investigates archival materials of the Novosibirsk region, which allow describing administrative and legal ways of organizing patent work on the example of the West Siberian State Farm. The purpose of the study is the analysis of administrative and legal acts of state authorities of the USSR of 1961-1965, which allows to expand the range of knowledge about the organization of patent and licensing activities in the USSR, to identify its rational elements, which in the future could be used in modern conditions in an updated form. In the course of the study, the formal legal method, traditional for historical and legal science, was used, which allowed interpreting the content of the legal prescriptions under study by describing the norms of law, establishing legal signs of patent and licensing activities in the period under study. System-structural methods of analysis made it possible to isolate the elements of the organizational and legal structure of patent and licensing work in the USSR in the first half of the 1960s. The analysis of the sources allowed the author to conclude that in 1960-1965 in the USSR there was the formation of a system of patent and licensing work, the main purpose of which was the protection of state interests in the field of invention. The organizational basis of the activity consisted of patent divisions of research institutes, patent examination groups, as well as patent divisions of enterprises and organizations. The main mechanisms of the organization of patent and licensing activities were based on the directive and instructional provisions of the Committee for Inventions and Discoveries of the USSR.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the legal relations arising in connection with the turnover of digital financial assets in the context of determining the prospects for further improvement of their legal regime. The purpose of the study is to determine, on the basis of legislation, scientific materials and law enforcement practice, the range of legal problems arising in connection with and about the inheritance of digital financial assets, and to establish possible ways to overcome them. The methodological basis of the research is a set of methods of scientific cognition of objective legal reality, namely: the method of synthesis, the method of analysis, the method of induction and the method of deduction, as well as the comparative legal method.   The scientific novelty lies in the absence of doctrinal studies on the inheritance of digital financial assets, along with the fact that the needs of the professional environment are already experiencing the need for a legal mechanism for the implementation of the rights of heirs to digital property. In the content of the scientific article, based on the analysis of the current legislation, a range of legal problems affecting the possibility of their application within the framework of hereditary legal relations is defined, in particular: the dualism of the material-binding nature of digital objects does not allow to determine the composition of the hereditary mass; the order of inheritance of such objects is not normatively defined. The study identifies the prospects for legislative regulation, ways to eliminate legal problems, including on the basis of the experience of foreign law and order. The conclusions and results of the study can be used as a basis for the development of methodological recommendations of the Federal Notary Chamber of the Russian Federation regarding the determination of the order of inheritance of digital property.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in Russia there is no conceptual unity in relation to digital assets and big data, the correlation of these concepts has not been fully investigated. The purpose of the study is to clarify the qualification of big data as digital assets. The objectives of the research are to define the concept and features of digital assets and big data, the relationship between the concepts of digital assets and big data, and the definition of ways to qualify big data as digital assets. As a result of the study, the concept and features of digital assets are defined, the concept and features of big data are defined.

Abstract: Author studies the measures and programs of state financial support provided to agricultural producers, as small and medium-sized businesses, in the grain market of the Russian Federation, and make proposals for its optimization. During the study were used methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization and formal legal thinking. As result of the research author concludes that financing of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia is still developing with significant state support. Agriculture, due to its characteristics, is subject to increased state regulation. As a result of the study, it is noted that today there are indeed many stimulating and compensatory measures of state financial support. However, there are a few problems in the implementation of this mechanism. As a result of the study, measures are proposed to improve the mechanism of financial support and increase the availability of financing for agricultural producers, in particular regions and remote areas. The theoretical and / or practical significance is determined in the generalization, conclusions and proposals that can be used for subsequent work in the direction in order to improve this institution, as well as in rulemaking by the legislative bodies of the government of the Russian Federation. The novelty of the work lies in the proposal to conduct a diagnostic study of the state of financing of agriculture, in particular grain markets, with a view to the possible implementation of some successfully implemented financing programs. As conclusion, author presented proposals for improving state support measures to increase the availability of financing for agricultural producers, in particular the regions and remote areas of the country.
