THE CIVIL LEGAL NATURE OF BIOINFORMATICS
Ключевые слова:

This research investigates the civil legal framework governing bioinformatics within Uzbekistan’s judicial system amid contemporary digital transformation processes. The study examines how bioinformatics elements integrate with established civil law institutions while identifying regulatory challenges in current legal practice. Through systematic analysis of Uzbekistan’s Civil Code (1996), Copyright and Related Rights Law (2006), and Inventions, Utility Models and Industrial Designs Law (2002), combined with international legal precedent examination, this investigation reveals that bioinformatics demonstrates hybrid characteristics merging biological information with computational technologies. These unique features necessitate specialized legal approaches within Uzbekistan’s civil law framework. The research employs comparative legal methodology between Uzbekistan’s system and international frameworks, supplemented by case study analysis and systematic interpretation of relevant legislative provisions. Findings indicate that traditional civil law categories require adaptive mechanisms to accommodate bioinformatics innovations effectively. The study proposes conceptual frameworks for adapting civil law doctrine to technological realities while maintaining consistency with Uzbekistan’s legal traditions. Practical implications include establishing theoretical foundations for specialized bioinformatics regulation and enhancing intellectual property protection mechanisms within Uzbekistan’s developing biotechnology sector.
