proprietary
Having to do with ownership. Proprietary rights or interests are the rights or interests that a person has because of property ownership, or that are an integral part of property ownership. For example, if one person has the sole right to make and sell a medicine, it is a proprietary drug. And the right to vote a share of stock is a proprietary interest of owning it. The proprietary functions of a city (as opposed to its public functions) include such things as sidewalk repair and trash pickup. And a proprietary lease is between tenant-owners of a cooperative apartment building and the owners’ association.
