The legal regime of software code in Ukraine is regulated by the Civil Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine «On Copyright and Related Rights», which entered into force in 2023. Thus, under civil law, a computer program (code) is an object of copyright and is equated with literary works. At the same time, the author of the relevant intellectual property object is exclusively an individual who, through his creative work, created the relevant result. Thus, given that AI lacks legal personality, the latter is not a subject of copyright, which corresponds to current approaches in regulatory and judicial international practice.

The founder of the startup Injobe.com, Pavlo Mykhalchuk, grew up in a small village in the Khmelnytskyi region and doesn’t remember the moment he decided to become an entrepreneur. He says it all happened naturally. At thirteen, he was breeding rabbits and pigeons, a little later he sold insurance policies at StarLife, and after school he worked as a waiter and assistant cook. «I was constantly looking for an opportunity to earn money. I tried different things, saw what worked and what didn’t. I was interested not just in making extra money, but in understanding how it all worked,» the man recalls. When most of his peers were preparing to enter, Pavlo asked his parents not to insist on university. He was not against education as such, but he was convinced that he would learn much more now if he immediately started working and was responsible for his own decisions. «I said that I wanted to build my own life. My parents supported me,» says the 25-year-old entrepreneur. Now he admits that he is increasingly thinking about business education — not because he felt the need for a diploma, but because he wants to systematize the experience he gained in a completely different way — through his own mistakes, unsuccessful decisions, and dozens of business experiments. dev.ua talked to an entrepreneur who knows everything about Telegram business and plans to monetize his own HR-tech project.
