imperfect ownership

Read a random definition: commercially significant noninfringing use

A quick definition of imperfect ownership:

Imperfect ownership is when someone owns property, but their rights to use and enjoy it are limited. Ownership means having the right to possess something, but sometimes other people or laws can restrict what you can do with it. For example, if someone has a usufruct interest in the property, they have the right to use it for a certain period of time. Ownership can also be shared with others, like in joint ownership or ownership in common. When ownership is perfect, it means the owner has complete control over the property without any limitations.

A more thorough explanation:

Imperfect ownership is a type of ownership where the owner has some rights to use, manage, and enjoy the property, but those rights are limited in some way. It is also known as "naked ownership" in Louisiana law.

For example, if someone owns a house but has given someone else the right to live in it for a certain period of time, the owner has imperfect ownership. They still own the house, but their right to use and enjoy it is limited by the other person's right to live there.

Another example of imperfect ownership is when someone owns a piece of land, but the government has the right to use it for a public purpose, such as building a road. The owner still owns the land, but their right to use and enjoy it is limited by the government's right to use it for the public good.

Overall, imperfect ownership means that the owner has some rights to the property, but those rights are not absolute and can be limited by other people or entities.
