Adaptability and flexibility of law in the context of digitalization

Abstract

The paper investigates current issues of legal transformation in the context of digitalization. The main attention is paid to directions and stages of adaptation, determination of the legal status of digital technologies, their protection capacity and delinquency. Based on expert assessments, key parameters of legal regulation of digital technologies and their products are determined and the need to supplement civil, financial and information law with new categories and institutions is justified. It is concluded that approaches to assessing the legal nature of digital objects are contradictory and there is insufficient consideration of technical aspects of digital technologies, as well as a need to develop a unified legal strategy for the civil and intellectual rights of digital technologies at the international level. Among the priorities and directions of this strategy, there should be the development of issues on the legal personality of digital technologies and the main mechanisms for protecting products of this technology application. The conclusions formulated in the article have important practical and methodological significance and can be taken into account when reforming the current legislation
