The article revealed copyright and related rights, as well as the legislation of the
Republic of Moldova on copyright and related rights. Copyright and related rights in con-
travention law, the aspect compared to the laws of other countries (Romania) and judici-
al practice. The purpose of this paper is to present the theoretical aspect of copyright and
its protection, as well as the analysis of the practical aspect of the contravention relations
that have as object the intellectual property. From a practical point of view, it is necessary
to distinguish between criminal, civil and contravention protection of copyright and rela-
ted rights, as most laws ensure the protection of this right through these three branches,
including the legislation of the Republic of Moldova. Likewise, I propose a comparative
analysis with the laws of other countries in the field of intellectual protection in the light
of the law of contravention of these countries.
