Abstract

The article reveals the risks of designers’ work in terms of moderntechnology. The following
problems are considered: the problem of protection ofcopyright and patent rights in connection with the
development of the Internet; the problem of international regulation in the field of intellectual property
rights,where the use of someone else's intellectual property by foreigners in other countries is practically
impossible to prevent and stop; the problem of the economic interest of large companies to use somebody else's
unpaid labor to make a profit without compensation to authors of works or industrial designs.
