Abstract

The author analyzed the legal approaches formed by arbitration courts in a number of cases on the creation of parodies based on the work of fine art Homunkulus Loxodontus (“Zhdun”). The author comes to the conclusion that the criterion of “creative work” is being belittled when qualifying the results of intellectual activity as parodies.
