What Are the Three Types of Property Law? - Peter Zinkovetsky

From Avenue Law Firm - What Are the Three Types of Property Law? explores how real property, personal property, and intellectual property are defined and regulated under New York and federal law. This podcast breaks down the distinctions between land ownership, movable assets, and creative works while highlighting the legal frameworks that govern each category, including New York Real Property Law and oversight by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Listeners will gain a clear understanding of how real estate transactions function in Manhattan, including the role of the Office of the City Register, ACRIS, and the New York County Clerk's Office at 60 Centre Street. The episode also explains ownership structures like joint tenancy and tenancy in common, along with key rights such as possession, transfer, and exclusion, all within the boundaries of zoning laws, easements, and eminent domain under the Fifth Amendment and New York Eminent Domain Procedure Law (EDPL).

The discussion expands into personal property and intellectual property, covering everything from vehicles, furniture, and fixtures to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
