exclusive rights

Exclusive rights are legal protections granted to creators or inventors that give them the sole authority to use, reproduce, or sell their work or invention for a certain period. This means no one else can legally copy, distribute, or profit from it without permission. These rights encourage innovation and creative expression by ensuring that creators can benefit financially from their efforts. Examples include copyright for art and music, patents for inventions, and trademarks for brand identifiers. Once these rights expire, the work enters the public domain and can be used freely by others.
