What Are Incorporeal Rights?
Incorporeal rights are rights to property that shouldn't be visible or contacted however are as yet enforceable by law. Generally, incorporeal rights have to do with [intangible property](/immaterial personal-property) like copyrights, licenses, rights-of-way, and easements. Incorporeal rights are otherwise called elusive rights, and the incorporeal property is additionally called immaterial property.
How Incorporeal Rights Work
Not at all like real property that can be physically measured, theoretical property is applied in nature. In any case, the rights associated with the elusive property — the incorporeal rights — are just all around as substantial as the rights associated with real property. Incorporeal rights don't cover unmistakable property, like real and personal property, for example land and equipment.
There are two types of elusive property: pure intangibles and documentary intangibles. Pure intangibles incorporate things, for example, obligations and intellectual property rights. Documentary intangibles incorporate assets tied to records, like bills of landing or promissory notes.

Along these lines, one can have incorporeal (or elusive) rights over a corporeal (or unmistakable) property, for example, justified to quiet delight in a property that is consulted with a legitimate lease agreement.
The second sort of incorporeal right is jura in re propria, which alludes to the ownership of elusive property. This type of right incorporates brand names, copyrights, patents, and different types of intellectual property. Along these lines, one can have full ownership of property that is incorporeal (or theoretical) and doesn't have a physical presence.
