The purpose of this article is to identify changes in the nature of the challenges and analyze key trends in international law regulation of copyright and related rights protection in the digital environment. It is established that the digital environment forms the newest type of legal relations, which requires modification of copyright legislation. International experience on the latest trends in copyright and related rights protection in the digital environment has discussed. It has established that the key trend of modification international legal regulation of copyright and related rights in the digital environment there are stricter measures to restrict online sales of pirated books, audiovisual products and electronic publications.

It has proved that to improve the mechanism of combating crime in the field of intellectual property it is necessary to modernize the national intellectual property system: improving the regulatory framework, improving the institutional framework and infrastructure, as well as conducting comprehensive educational work with users of this system

The precise and correct understanding of the transformational changes in the field of science, which are constantly kept under public review, is vitally important for civilizational development of the Ukrainian State. Problem statement. Although some specific and significant aspects of science are highlighted and respective innovations are suggested, very often there is a lack of methodological reasoning and non-systemic of recommendations. The abovementioned stipulates the need to formulate a complete and perfect vision of the science transformation at the present stage of the Ukrainian society’s development. The purpose of this paper is to formulate the author’s conception of the necessity of science transformation in Ukraine by analysing global challenges and critical study of modern scientists’ works. The achievement of the formulated aim is carried out by the means of the complex and consistent application of the corresponding scientific tool presented by such methods of scientific knowledge as: logical-semantic, systematic, structural-logical, methods of grouping, deduction, induction, analysis and synthesis etc. Results. In the article, the author establishes and explains the reasons for the transformational changes in the field of science, which are reduced to the following: global character of human development; an advanced approach to the interaction of theory and practice in the context of the implementation of scientific activities; development of modern information technologies; insufficient support by the state and society of science and scholars; absence of an integrated approach, focused on the fundamental integrity and complexity of the system “science – education – production”; aggravation of social and economic problems; integration of the innovative type of civilization. To sum up, the author concludes that civilizational society has dramatically influenced the development of science, significantly accelerating the processes of its development. Modern science, as well as scientists’ activity, is impossible without the use of the latest technologies. This activity, in turn, promotes the development of newer technologies. The speed of these processes is constantly increasing and the transformation of science in one sphere instantly causes transformation in another. Such changes lead to the emergence of an incredibly large number of scientific knowledge that needs to be perceived and embodied in practice.

The purpose of the paper is to analyse the concept of a system, to consider the essence of systems theory in lawmaking. Methodology. On the basis of the analysis of components of legal relations in the field of public service and functions of the latter, the specificity of its implementation in the process of adaptation of the national legislation to the EU laws in the field of public service is determined. Task-solving related to the development of laws of adequate quality in terms of the guarantee of their effectiveness, system nature and completeness of the actions, which relies on the legislator, is possible only on conditions that systems theory is applied. Results of the paper showed that a key feature of legal relations in the field of public service is manifested through their functional purpose-the satisfaction of public interest. This particular feature allows us to refer to them as to a system rather than a complex of separately existent objects. Practical implications. The application of systems theory during the implementation of adaptation of the national legislation to the EU in the field of public service implies the necessity to cover all, without any exceptions, components of legal relations in the field of public relations by such processes. Value/originality. The research defined that an adequate application of systems theory during the implementation of the adaptation of national legislation to the EU laws in the field of public service is able, quite predictable, and lead to the codification of legal norms, which regulate legal relations in the field of public service.
