Where can I find the meaning of "to buy control of"?

Question

like a patent...or a monopoly.

Answer 1

In real life, you would retain an attorney.  If this question is academic then here are some links:

For a corporation:

wikpedia.org on "Controlling Interest"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling...

For an *option* to buy anything, land, stocks, gold, etc:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_(fin...

You register patents for inventions with the US Patent Office:

http://www.uspto.gov/

For a copyright in the USA:

http://www.copyright.gov/

To get a copyright, you don't need to register the material to be copyrighted, you could just put a copyright notice on your material, but for valuable written material or software, etc, you would want to get a registered copyright from the copyright office.

I believe that the word "monopoly" is not what you are after.  A monopoly would be something like a utility company where there is no competition.  I think that the word "patented" is a better word choice for what you want.

Answer 2

you mean like a patent...or a monopoly.  this is a horribly vague question.
