Legal characteristics of intellectual property:

Intellectual property is time-sensitive. Intellectual property rights are subject to a statutory residence change protection period, and once the period of validity expires, the rights are terminated or extinguished on their own, and the intellectual achievements in question become a common asset of society as a whole, freely accessible to anyone。
(ii) the geographical nature of intellectual property rights. Geographicality means that intellectual property acquired under the laws of a state is valid only if contained within that state and not in other states. As such, intellectual property is distinct from property rights。
(iii) intellectual property is proprietary. As intellectual outcomes can be used by multiple subjects at the same time, most intellectual property rights have a monopoly granted by law, and their exclusivity prevents the existence of two or more owners of the same intellectual product at the same time。

(iv) intellectual property is subject to direct recognition by law. Intellectual property rights have no form, no space and are difficult to control in practice. Thus, while the law provides that intellectual property is a civil right, it does not imply that every citizen has a civil right to the knowledge and wisdom of his or her mind. The law only recognizes that the object of this civil right is intellectual, not intellectual. As a result, recognition and protection of the right to a broader right-wing test in intellectual production often require direct legal specificity。
(v) the object of intellectual property is intangible property. The object protected by intellectual property rights is a formless spiritual asset. The non-materiality of the object is the essential attributes and characteristics of the intellectual property rights of the individual, and the most fundamental sign of the distinction between that right and ownership of tangible property. Distinction from ownership: intellectual property law is defined by the general title of the legal norms that give rise to the misdirected social relations of the nuclear grand privatisation through activities such as the adjustment of the attribution of intellectual property rights, the exercise of black administration and protection. The consolidation of intellectual property law is marked by its more vocal and technical character, both private and public; substantive and procedural。

However, at the legal level, the field of 3d printing technology, which involves patent rights, trademark rights and even copyright rights, is currently confusing in terms of the legal system, which is becoming more sophisticated。
