Takuya Murata made some changes, saying tweak intro; see and fix if you think you need
Takuya, a couple of points on this change:
- Under what circumstances do you suggest that an "organization" (other than a state) can grant an exclusive right? The closest thing I can think of is an international organiztion, such as WIPO or the WTO, doing this; but they don't really do it. They require states to provide the exclusive right.
- I think you are talking about only exclusive rights granted by the state but there are certainly a lot of other exclusive rights, particularly in bussiness. For example, you can get an exclusive right to interview with some important person. -- Taku 18:11 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Rights like this are created by private contract (which, again, is enforced by the state :). Also, they are limited in their enforceability to the person who originally granted the right. If I agree to be interviewed exclusively by Bob, and then I break the contract by granting an interview to Alice, then Bob can only prosecute me; he has no claim against Alice (unless she has engaged in tortious interference).
- So, maybe these are state-granted exclusive rights, but they're not universally exclusive, and they require backing by the state. I'll see if I can find some new wording which captures this elegantly. --Pde 05:15 May 6, 2003 (UTC)
- Why do you link to organization? It doesn't seem to me to provide insight in this case. Perhaps more helpful would be a link to legal person (see here), which is the relevant legal concept for corporations owning rights, but there's no wikipedia article for it yet.
- Even if you do want to link to organization, I don't see why you should do it twice (especially not to the British English spelling article organization, since that article is unhelpful).-- Pde 06:15 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
- It was a kind of mistake. Yes, we don't need to link two same words. -- Taku 18:11 May 5, 2003 (UTC)

[edit]4th paragraph down, 6th word is a "double link" that forwards to "contract" and "contract killing." I believe the second to be non-applicable to this article. Nicky Bottoms (talk) 05:09, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
