Best Answer

Yes, many forms of intellectual property have transferable rights. They are often bought and sold in the form of "assignment of rights".

For example, you can inherit copyrights or patents, assuming your benefactor did not already sell them prior to his or her death.

There are various rules regarding the exact form of transfer documentation required to make it "official". In trademarks, for example, it is imperative to obtain the "good will" along with the actual "ownership" of the trademark property.
