kizárólagosságra

Kizárólagosság (and the form kizárólagosságra) refers to the state or right by which a single entity is granted exclusive authority to use, exploit, or benefit from a subject within a defined scope. The noun kizárólagosság is formed from kizáró (to exclude) with the abstract-noun suffix -sság, and the suffix -ra marks the direction or applicability, as in kizárólagosságra vonatkozó megállapodások meaning agreements that relate to exclusivity.

In legal and economic contexts, kizárólagosság typically arises through contracts or statutory rights. Common manifestations include exclusive licenses that grant a licensee sole rights to manufacture, sell, or distribute a product in a territory or field; exclusive distribution agreements; and exclusive broadcasting, publishing, or streaming rights. Intellectual property can confer exclusivity in the form of copyright, patent, or trademark rights, which prevent others from using the protected subject without authorization.

The exclusivity arrangement can provide incentives for investment and specialization by reducing competition for the covered subject in the specified scope. However, it can also raise competition concerns if it unduly forecloses markets or harms consumer welfare. Jurisdictions often regulate or oversee exclusive agreements, balancing the benefits of secure markets against the risks of reduced competition, with rules that vary by sector, geography, and duration.
