Personal rights refer to civil rights that are inseparable from the person of the civil subject and have no direct property content. Personal right is the symmetry of property right. Property right refers to the right enjoyed by civil subjects with certain material content and directly reflected in economic interests. For example, the author's right of authorship is the personal right, and the right to get remuneration for the manuscript is the property right.
2. exclusivity.
The subject of intellectual property rights shall enjoy the exclusive right to use intellectual achievements according to law, and no one else may infringe upon them. At this point, intellectual property rights are the same as real rights, but different from creditor's rights.
3. regionality.
Intellectual property rights are only valid within the geographical scope of a specific country or region. In order to obtain the legal protection of other countries, a country's intellectual property rights must be handled in accordance with relevant international treaties, bilateral agreements or the principle of reciprocity.
4. timeliness.
Under normal circumstances, intellectual property rights established according to law are only valid within the time limit prescribed by law, and after the legal protection period is exceeded, intellectual property rights are eliminated. For example, the right of publication, property right and patent right in copyright are all limited by the protection period. However, the timeliness of intellectual property rights is not absolute.
There are many kinds of intellectual property rights protected by China laws. Among them, the common ones are copyright, patent right, trademark right and trade secret.
