Innovative digital rights in corporate relations

Abstract

This article aims to consider a promising trend for developing the digital economy, i.e. innovative digital rights in corporate relations. The authors of the article have determined that innovative technologies are being introduced into the economic life of Russia and foreign countries but legal protection issues remain insufficiently settled. Since October 1, 2019, new provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation will have come into force. According to these provisions, digital rights will become a new object of civil rights; citizens and corporate legal entities will receive additional guarantees that will allow them to more actively participate in the development of the future economy. The authors have concluded that the adoption of these innovations will contribute to the improvement of the Russian legislation on digital financial assets. They suggest that transaction methods via electronic and other technical means should be further elaborated. The authors emphasize the fact that the Government of the Russian Federation approved the program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" aimed at developing the digital economy. This program dwells on provisions of the Strategy of information society development in Russia for the years 2017-2030.
