专利保护的地域性
Regional nature of patent protection
所谓地域性，就是对专利保护权的空间(国别)限制。是指一个国家或一个地区所授予的专利保护权仅在该国或地区的范围内有效，除此之外的国家和地区不发生法律效力，专利保护权是不被确认与认可的。如果专利权人希望在其他国家享有专利保护权，就必须依照其他国家的相关法律另行提出专利申请。但如果是加入了国际条约及双边协定另有规定之外的，情况另议！否则任何国家和地区都不承认其他国家或者国际性知识产权机构所授予的专利保护权。
The so-called regionality is the space (country) restriction of patent protection right. It refers to that the patent protection right granted by a country or a region is only valid within the scope of that country or region, other countries and regions do not have legal effect, and the patent protection right is not confirmed and recognized. If the patentee wants to enjoy the patent protection right in other countries, he must file another patent application in accordance with the relevant laws of other countries. However, if it is not otherwise stipulated in international treaties and bilateral agreements, the situation will be discussed separately! Otherwise, no country or region will recognize the patent protection rights granted by other countries or international intellectual property institutions.
