What are the characteristics of copyright and patent right?

Unless otherwise provided by law, anyone who exploits 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. (2) timeliness. It means that the patent right is only valid during the authorization period. After the expiration or termination of the term, the invention will become the common wealth of the whole society, and anyone can use it for free. The duration of the patent right is stipulated by the patent law. (3) regionality. It means that the patent right granted by a 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.
