The 'Lectric Law Library
Owner, Ownership
OWNER - The owner is he who has dominion of a thing real or person-al, corporeal or incorporeal, which he has a right to enjoy and to do with as he pleases, even to spoil or destroy it as far as the law permits, unless he be prevented by some agreement or covenant which restrains his right.

The right of the owner is more extended than that of him who has only the use of the thing. The owner of an estate may, therefore change the face of it; he may cut the wood, demolish the buildings, build new ones, and dig wherever he may deem proper for minerals, stone, plaster, and similar things. He may commit what would be considered waste if done by another.

The owner continues to have the same right although he perform no acts of ownership, or be disabled from performing them, and although another perform such acts without the knowledge or against the will of the owner. But the owner may lose his right in a thing if he permit it to remain in the possession of a third person for sufficient time to enable the latter to acquire a title to it by prescription or lapse of time.

When there are several joint owners of a thing, as for example, of a ship, the majority of them have the right to make contracts in respect of such thing, in the usual course of business or repair, and the like, and the minority will be bound by such contracts.

OWNERSHIP - title to property. The right by which a thing belongs to some one in particular, to the exclusion of all other persons.

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Ownership
Ownership is the state or fact of exclusive rights and control over property, which may be an objectland/real estateintellectual property or some other kind of property. It is embodied in an ownership right also referred to as title.

Ownership is the key building block in the development of the capitalist socio-economic system. The concept of ownership has existed for thousands of years and in all cultures. Over the millennia, however, and across cultures what is considered eligible to be property and how that property is regarded culturally is very different. Ownership is the basis for many other concepts that form the foundations of ancient and modern societies such as moneytradedebtbankruptcy, the criminality of theft and private vs. public property.
