OVERVIEW OF METHODS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION IN INTERNET PUBLICATIONS WITH LOCAL EXAMPLES

Abstract

This article explores the evolving challenges and methods of protecting intellectual property in the context of Internet publications. The Internet's accessibility has revolutionized content distribution, introducing both opportunities and vulnerabilities, particularly in terms of copyright protection. The study examines Western practices such as the use of content policies, labor agreements, technical measures like watermarks, and education initiatives, highlighting their relevance in fostering a culture of copyright respect. Local examples from Uzbekistan are presented to illustrate the adaptation of these practices within a specific legal and cultural framework. The paper also discusses digital tools like «takedown notices», encryption, and disclaimers as effective mechanisms to address IP violations. Practical steps for preventing unauthorized use and promoting awareness about copyright protection are outlined, emphasizing the need for robust legal systems, education, and cultural values in building a sustainable IP protection environment.
