Usage notes
Common translations of the term are owner and proprietor, however it is important to note that the restricted usage does not allow for it to be used with the same objects as these terms are in English and equivalent usage is barely idiomatic even colloquially: A Marke f (“brand, trade-mark”) — as distinguished from its “stamp” meaning – can only have an Inhaber, and the compound Markeneigentümer occurs in business administration but is unacceptable in legal parlance.
Declension
Noun
Eigentümer
- nominative/accusative/genitive plural of Eigentum
