Abstract
The article analyzes the legal regimes of protection of a computer program as an object of intellectual property under the legislation of the European Union. The purpose of the study is to determine the most optimal way to protect a computer program in the system of objects of intellectual rights, taking into account the legislation and judicial practice of the European Union. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, it is concluded that the software contains elements protected by copyright and elements that are not subject to copyright protection. The analysis of the EU patent practice allowed us to draw a conclusion about the patentability of a computer program if it has a technical nature.
