The individual creator as the primary holder of inalienable personal non-property and property rights to intellectual property objects

Abstract

This article examines the fundamental principle that individual creators constitute the primary and original holders of intellectual property rights, encompassing both inalienable moral rights and transferable economic rights. Through analysis of international legal frameworks, particularly the Berne Convention and WIPO treaties, alongside contemporary national implementations including Ukraine's 2023 copyright reform, the research demonstrates how modern intellectual property law recognizes human creativity as the foundational source of authorship.
