property rights
Title to possessions
Property rights are legal claims to own, use, and transfer something—land, goods, intellectual creations, or other assets.
The concept underlies market economies: Property rights give owners the incentive to invest in their land.
Disputes often center on where one person's property rights end and another's begin, or on whether certain things should be privately owned at all.
