(1) exclusive. Exclusivity is also called monopoly or exclusivity.
Patent right is the exclusive right granted to the applicant or his legal assignee by the competent government department according to the application of the inventor or applicant that his invention meets the conditions stipulated in the patent law. It belongs exclusively to the obligee, and the patentee has the right to possess, use, benefit and dispose of its right object (i.e. invention and creation).
(2) timeliness.
The so-called temporality of patent right means that the patent right has a certain term, that is, the protection period stipulated by law. The patent laws of various countries have their own regulations on the effective protection period of patent rights, and the starting time for calculating the protection period is also different. Article 42 of China's Patent Law stipulates: "The term of patent right for invention is 20 years, and the term of patent right for utility model and design is 10 years, all of which are counted from the date of application."
(3) It is regional.
The so-called regionality is the space limitation of patent right. It means that the patents granted and protected by a country or region are only valid within the scope of that country or region, but have no legal effect on other countries and regions, and their patent rights are not confirmed and protected. If the patentee wishes to enjoy the patent right in other countries, he must file another patent application according to the laws of other countries. No country will recognize the patent rights granted by other countries or international intellectual property agencies unless it joins international treaties and bilateral agreements.
