Exclusivity (de jure)
De jure exclusivity refers to an exclusive situation that exists as a result of a formal, legal, or contractual agreement. De jure exclusivity is granted by law or through a legally binding contract that explicitly outlines the exclusive rights or privileges granted to an individual, organization, or entity. For instance, a company may hold a patent on a product, granting it the exclusive right to manufacture and sell that product, thus creating de jure exclusivity.
