Annotation: Industry is the production and material basis of the economic system, it has a high social significance and strategic orientation, and therefore, its forming and development requires comprehensive legal regulation and definition of its essence and key institutions, in particular, the concept of industry, the directions of industrial policy forma- tion, and the methodology of industrial production modernization. However, the mechanism of legal regulation of industry should be developed in accordance with constitutional provisions and principles. In this regard, based on the study of the evolution of the constitutional foundations and principles of building and developing the economy, using the example of the analysis of the Constitutions of the BSSR and the Republic of Belarus, starting with the Constitution of the BSSR in 1937, the article examines certain areas of constitutional and legal impact on the state and transformation of the institute of industry in relation to global processes taking place in the socio-economic sphere of relations over several historical periods. The necessity of supplementing the sectoral legislation regulating public relations in the field of industry is substantiated.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of difficulties arising in attempts to register a flavour trademark in the Russian Federation. Flavour trademarks are one of the most controversial types of non-traditional trademarks in Russia, which at the moment have never been registered in the territory of our country due to the great difficulties in its registration. In this regard, the question arises: are flavour trademarks viable on the territory of the Russian Federation, or is their functioning on the territory of our country at the moment impossible? The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that in the realities of the market right holders, in order to maintain competitiveness, have to constantly seek new ways of development and innovations, one of which may be the use of non-traditional trademarks, such as flavour. The objectives of this work are to analyze flavor trademarks as a type of trademark, identify the features of their registration and legal protection, and assess the viability of flavor trademarks in modern Russian conditions. The hypothesis of the study is that at the moment the registration of flavour trademarks is impossible due to the problem of proving their distinctiveness, as well as the presence of certain requirements for the registration of trademarks. The analytical method, induction, comparison and abstraction method allowed for an in-depth analysis of the specificities of trademark registration and protection. The author concludes that it is inexpedient to register flavour trademarks in the territory of the Russian Federation at the moment. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The article presents a comprehensive comparative legal study of the mechanisms for forming the share capital of commercial organizations through non-monetary contributions. The author analyzes the legislation and law enforcement practices of certain foreign countries, such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Spain, and compares them with current Russian regulations. Particular attention is paid to the legal status of specific assets. The aim of the study is to identify the imbalance between the need to capitalize digital and intangible assets and the conservative approach of Russian law. The study seeks effective legal instruments that will expand the list of permissible contributions without compromising the interests of creditors. As a result of the study, the author substantiates the need for liberalization of Russian legislation. The author concludes that it is advisable to expand the list of intangible assets that can be used as contributions to the property of com- mercial organizations. The author also proposes the implementation of a foreign mechanism for joint liability of participants and directors for the accuracy of the valuation of non-cash contributions. The introduction of joint liability mechanisms will ensure the necessary balance: the expansion of capitalization instruments will be accompanied by strengthened guarantees for creditors, minimizing the risk of abuse in property valuation. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: This article is devoted to the analysis of abuse of law in the context of alimony relations. Despite the fact that the legal norms governing alimony obligations are aimed at protecting the interests of the most vulnerable seg- ments of society – minor children and disabled people in need of assistance, there are cases when participants in alimony legal relations use these norms for personal, selfish interests. Such abuse is a serious problem that negatively affects the interests of all parties involved in the alimony relationship, and above all, the well-being of the child. In order to identify the causes of abuse of the right in the field of alimony obligations, an analysis of the most common types of offenses arising in this area was carried out, which are confirmed by cases from judicial practice. A number of recommendations were formulated to improve the mechanisms for countering abuse of rights in the field of alimony relations. In particular, it is proposed to strengthen control over the targeted use of alimony payments by introducing mandatory reporting of the parent receiving child support on the expenditure of the funds received. It is also necessary to expand activities aimed at educating citizens of social responsibility and respect for the law. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The relevance of the topic lies in the lack of legal protection of the stage image of public figures in the digital age. The purpose of the study is to analyze the legal nature of the stage image as an object of copyright under Russian law. The main methods for preparing this article are formal law and comparative law. Based on the analysis of Russian and foreign experience, various approaches to the protection of the stage image have been identified. Since there is no concept of a stage image in the legislation of the Russian Federation and the doc- trine, the prerequisites for the forming of a new legal regime of this object from the point of view of copyright are analyzed. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that in Russian law there is no special legal regime for the stage image of performers, which leads to incorrect dispute resolution. It is proposed to take into account foreign experience, in particular the similar concept of the right of publicity, which exists in the United States to improve domestic law in this area. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
