Conventionally, copyright can be divided into two interrelated groups: The first group - Personal non-property rights and property rights. The first group includes: being an Author and published under own name and publish the work.

The second group is the exclusive right to perform actions and use the work for profit or without profit, namely: reproduction and sale of copies of the work, public showings, performances, import of the original, reproduction of sound and video recordings, implementation of various projects (architecture, design) and any other actions in the media that do not contradict the law.

In accordance with Article 1281 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the period of validity of the exclusive right is preserved throughout the life of the author and seventy years after his death, after this period the work is considered a national treasure.

According to Article 1259 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, works (parts of a work) of science, literature, art, regardless of the type of their purpose, dignity, as well as the method of expression, are objects of copyright.
