The article analyzes the possibilities of maintaining the register of intellectual property objects using blockchain technologies. Such registries have a number of advantages in comparison with traditional methods of registration and provide more opportunities for rightholders. However, they also have certain disadvantages, primarily due to the lack of full-fledged mechanisms for resolving intellectual property disputes. This problem requires not only technical, but also organizational and legal solutions. The authors conclude that the prospects for the development of blockchain platforms for registering and managing intellectual property are linked to the possibility of dividing such registries into two types. The first one is the registries of IP objects on the permissionless blockchain platform. Information about IP objects and their authors (owners) contained in them will not be official. The second type is the registries of IP objects on the basis of permission blockchain technologies, in which superuser rights will be granted to government bodies authorized in the field of IP protection. Entries in them will be official and will have validating rights value.
