exhaustion of rights doctrine

Int’l law. The principle that once the owner of an intellectual-property right has placed a product covered by that right into the marketplace, the right to control how the product is resold within that internal market is lost.

• Within a common market, such as the European Union, the doctrine also applies to the import and export of the goods between member nations. Cf. PATENT-EXHAUSTION DOCTRINE.
