First of all, exclusivity
That is, exclusivity or monopoly, and no one except the obligee may enjoy or use this right unless the obligee agrees or the law stipulates. This shows that the exclusive right of the obligee is strictly protected by law and shall not be infringed upon by others. Only through legal procedures such as "compulsory license" and "expropriation" can the exclusive right of the obligee be changed.
Second, regionality.
That is, it is only effective in the field of recognition and protection, that is, unless an international convention or bilateral reciprocal agreement is signed, the rights protected by a country's laws only take legal effect within the norms of that country. Therefore, intellectual property rights are both regional and international under certain conditions.
Third, timeliness.
In other words, it is only protected for a specified period of time. In other words, the protection of various rights by law has a certain period of validity, and the length of the protection period can be the same or different. Only by participating in international agreements or making international applications can a certain right be uniformly protected.
Intellectual property rights are "the collective name of rights based on creative achievements and industrial and commercial marks". The three main intellectual property rights are copyright, patent right and trademark right, among which patent right and trademark right are also collectively referred to as industrial property rights.
On the surface, intellectual property can be understood as "property right to knowledge", and its premise is that knowledge has the conditions to become legal property. However, the essence of knowledge is an objective and free-flowing information. Once the knowledge as information is spread, the person who provides this information cannot control this information exclusively.
Then the intellectual achievements expressed by these information cannot become the property of the information creator in the legal sense. The legal system of intellectual property rights has created an unprecedented form of property rights by giving the creators of intellectual achievements the exclusive right to use and transfer.
The reason why the law wants to turn the original free information into the property of the creator is because public policies need to promote the development of science and technology, social progress and protect certain specific interests. Therefore, not all knowledge produces intellectual property rights. At the same time, the extension of the word intellectual property is constantly changing with the development of society, and intellectual property is also constantly improving.
