A limited right is a right that is limited in some way.

For example, if I have a trademark, then I am the only person who has the right to use that trademark on my products. But there is a limit to the extent of that right; I cannot use the fact that I own the trademark to prevent someone else from comparing his product to mine.

Another example might be the use of land. As a landowner, I have certain rights pertaining to my land. But I do not have the right to turn my land into a toxic waste dump. Depending on the place where I live, I might not even have the right to prevent people from walking on my land. In the United States, I do not have the right to limit the deed so as to prevent people from owning it on the basis of race or religion.
