OwnershipOwnership is the state or fact of legal possession and control over property, which may be any asset, tangible or intangible. Ownership can involve multiple rights, collectively referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. The process and mechanics of ownership are fairly complex: one can gain, transfer, and lose ownership of property in a number of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with money, trade it for other property, win it in a bet, receive it as a gift, inherit it, find it, receive it as damages, earn it by doing work or performing services, make it, or homestead it.
State ownershipState ownership, also called government ownership and public ownership, is the ownership of an industry, asset, or enterprise by the state or a public body representing a community, as opposed to an individual or private party. Public ownership specifically refers to industries selling goods and services to consumers and differs from public goods and government services financed out of a government's general budget.
Socialisation des biensvignette|Oeuvre Le premier Tracteur de Wladimir Gawriilowitsch Krikhatzki La socialisation des biens est suivant la théorie de Karl Marx et Friedrich Engels une étape dans le processus de transformation d'une société capitaliste à une société communiste qui se distingue par l'abolition de l'héritage et de la propriété privée des moyens de production et par l'appropriation de ceux-ci par la collectivité.
Droit des marquesLe droit des marques confère à une entreprise, une association ou un particulier le monopole d'exploitation de la marque pour le type de produits ou services qu'elle accompagne. La marque est un signe permettant à un acteur économique ou social de distinguer les produits ou services qu'il distribue des produits ou services identiques ou similaires de ses concurrents. Selon les pays, ce droit peut naître du simple usage du signe dans la vie des affaires (marque non déposée ou TM), ou du dépôt du signe à titre de marque auprès d'un organisme spécialisé (marque déposée ou ®).
