Introduction: this article offers a comparative analysis of copyright registration systems in the Russian Federation and abroad. Copyrighted items do not have to be registered in order to be used or otherwise conveyed; however, there are various copyright registration systems which make it possible to solve certain practical problems such as providing evidence that the copyright exists and that certain copyrighted items can be used, including for commercial purposes. The article considers various registration methods, their functional capabilities and the deficiencies of the current legal mechanism. Purpose: to identify legal models of copyright registration which could be used as a prototype for a Russian national registration system for works of science, literature and arts and which would make it possible to optimize the process of their commercialization. Methods: dialectical, formal, functional and other general research methods, as well as specific scientific methods used by legal scholars: comparative law research and technical research. Results: we have identified and described the existing Russian and foreign copyright registration systems, studied their organizational and functional content and specific regulatory features. Based on the comparative analysis offered herein, the capabilities of these systems were identified and proposals have been made to create an information copyright database in Russia, which would be capable, among other things, of facilitating the conveyance of copyright in modern conditions. Conclusions: the analysis of several existing copyright registration systems in Russia and abroad has revealed that such systems are uncoordinated and have different public and legal functions; in their current state, none of these systems solves the problem of accessibility and improvement of copyright conveyance. At the same time, certain legal models can be used as elements of the new Russian infrastructure of intellectual rights registration.
