The protection

What protects the asset, legally and practically.

The part

What it is

Registration where possible, and consistent use where not. An unregistered asset used consistently for a decade has a real claim; one used loosely has neither.

The practical protection matters more day to day: who can change it, and whether anyone would notice if they did.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.

IP registration
Links to the intellectual property schedule where the asset is registered.
Reference shared type
Change authority
Who can alter it, which should be very few people.
Choice shared type
Practical risk
How the asset could be diluted, which is usually by well-meant variation.
