inhabern

Inhabern is the dative plural form of the German noun Inhaber, meaning owner or holder. It is used when referring to multiple owners as indirect objects or in contexts where the dative case is required, such as after prepositions or verbs that take a dative object. The common nominative plural is Inhaber, while the singular and genitive forms are Inhaber and der Inhaber, respectively.

In everyday and legal language, Inhabern appears in phrases such as den Inhabern or mit Inhabern. For example, Die Patentrechte liegen bei den Inhabern, and Die Rechte der Inhaber wurden vertraglich festgelegt. These constructions show how ownership rights or property are attributed to belonging entities in plural form.

Etymology and usage notes: Inhaber derives from have (haben) and denotes a person who possesses a right, property, or title. The term is widely used in business, law, and administrative contexts to identify the holders of patents, trademarks, licenses, or other holdings. The form Inhabern specifically marks the plural dative, and it should be used with appropriate article forms, such as den Inhabern, or without an article in some constructions.
