proprietary rights
Proprietary rights refer to the legal rights individuals or companies have over their own creations or property. This can include inventions, designs, brands, and artworks. These rights allow the owner to control how their property is used, sold, or distributed, preventing others from taking or using it without permission. Examples include copyright for creative works, trademarks for brand names, and patents for inventions. Essentially, proprietary rights protect the financial interests and recognition of those who create or own intellectual or physical property, ensuring they can benefit from their efforts.
