Intellectual property rights have these legal characteristics.

Intellectual property rights have the following three legal characteristics:

1. The regionality of intellectual property rights means that the patent right granted by one country is only valid within the geographical scope of the granting country or region and is not legally binding on other countries or regions. The patent rights granted by each country or region are independent of each other;

2. The exclusiveness of intellectual property means that patent right is an exclusive intangible property right. Unless otherwise provided by law, anyone who wants to exploit a patent must obtain the permission of the patentee and pay the royalties according to the agreement of both parties, otherwise it will constitute infringement;

3. The temporality of intellectual property means that the patent right is only valid within the validity period of authorization. After the expiration or termination of the term, the invention will become the common wealth of the whole society and anyone can use it freely. The duration of the patent right is stipulated by the patent law.
