Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the concept of creative activity (creativity) and its results in psychology and law. The views of such famous scientists as A. Maslow, S.L. Rubinstein, V.N. Druzhinin, et al. have been considered. It has been noted that, from the psychological point of view, creative activity is any activity aimed at transformation of the surrounding world, as a result of which new material and spiritual values are created. Legal protection is received only by the results of creativity with the objective expression. Based on the analysis of provisions from the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it follows that creative activity as such is not protected by the law. Legal measures are applied when the author enters public relations on creation and use of the results of their creative activity. The conclusion has been made about different approaches to the study of this phenomenon in two branches of humanities: in psychology, the emphasis is placed on the analysis of mental processes that occur during the creative act; in legal science, the final result of the creative work is in the focus.
