French term or phrase: droit d’utilisation ou d’exploitation
Hi all,

Do 'droit d’utilisation' and 'droit d’exploitation' mean the same thing?

I am translating a legal notice for a company and this phrase says:

Le Site et plus généralement toutes les informations et contenus y figurant tels que les logiciels, textes, images, vidéos, sons, savoir-faire, animations, marques sont la propriété de XXX ou font l’objet d’un droit d’utilisation ou d’exploitation et sont régis dans leur intégralité par la législation française relative au droit de propriété intellectuelle.

Thanks in advance for your help.

rights to use and exploit


Explanation:
Or "Rights of use and exploitation". It's not that they "mean" the same thing, but often used together - such as in the use of a trademark, which may be used (and exploited) for instance for whatever purposes contractual agreed upon.

agree  Johannes Gleim:  "Rights of usage and exploitation". The first term refers often to properties, the second to undertake, to run or operate an enterprise.

right to use or exploit


Explanation:
No. The right to use doesn't necessarily indicate the right to make money from that specific content by reproducing it or license it etc. That is the right to exploit.

user or exploitation right


Explanation:
The asker is right - the term NB user right is interchangeable for both words: see the first web ref.

No patent here, but marques so no operation or running.

Agree with Paola, except for the bog-standard 'user rights' formulation.



Example sentence(s):
  • Persons enjoying exploitation rights may bring such actions unless that has been expressly excluded by agreement with the holder in the case of an exclusive exploitation right or by the Office pursuant to Articles 29 or 100 (2).

neutral  Eliza Hall: Wrong. Logiciels (software) can be operated or run. PS: Sav.-faire = know-how and is "used" (the other verb here): https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/company-know-how
16 hrs
  -> savoir-faire can neither be run nor operated. plus user and exploitation/ copyright etc. *working* rights are standard in IP (intellectual property).
