What does it mean to get a patent right?

Patent right is a kind of intellectual property right, which is the exclusive right of the inventor or his assignee to exploit a specific invention within a certain period of time. Patent right has the following legal characteristics: (1) exclusiveness. 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. 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.
