What are the characteristics of intellectual property rights?

Intellectual property refers to the right to possess, use, dispose of and benefit from the fruits of intellectual labor according to law. Intellectual property is an intangible property, which, like tangible property such as houses and automobiles, is protected by national laws and has value and use value. The value of some major patents, well-known trademarks or works is much higher than tangible property such as houses and cars. The first feature is the exclusiveness of intellectual property rights, that is, only the obligee can enjoy them, and no one else can exercise their rights without the permission of the obligee. Intellectual property is an intangible property right, which refers to the results of intellectual creative labor and the rights enjoyed by intellectual workers according to law. This intellectual achievement is not only thought, but also the expression of thought. But it is different from the carrier of thought. The exclusive use of intellectual achievements by the right subject is similar to the ownership in real right, so it was classified as real right in the past. Second, the object of intellectual property is human intellectual creation, which belongs to "intellectual achievement right". It refers to the rights enjoyed by all intellectual activities in the fields of science, technology, culture, art and so on. Its object is people's intellectual achievements, belonging to intangible property or intangible property, but different from intangible property belonging to physical products (such as electricity) and intangible property belonging to rights (such as mortgage and trademark rights). It is the direct product of human intellectual activity (brain activity). Third, the benefits of intellectual property rights are both economic and non-economic. These two aspects are combined and inseparable. Therefore, intellectual property rights are different from neighboring rights and property rights in personality rights (its benefits are mainly economic). Fourth, the regionality and timeliness of intellectual property rights. The regionality of intellectual property rights means that the rights obtained according to the laws of a country can only be valid within the territory of that country and protected by the laws of that country, except for international conventions or bilateral and multilateral agreements. The temporality of intellectual property rights means that the laws of various countries stipulate a certain period of time for intellectual property rights, and the rights will automatically terminate after the expiration.
