[lbo-talk] the beauties of capitalism

[Wojtek Sokolowski]

Doug:


Despite years of reading monthly employment reports, this industrial  
category really jumped out at me for the first time this morning:  
"Lessors of nonfinancial intangible assets."

[WS:] http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/def/NDEF533.HTM

Prior to 2001 they were simply called "patent owners and lessors" (SIC
6794).

BTW, NAICS is a really good and detailed industrial classification system,
far superior to other systems such as ISIC 3.1 (or even 4.0 soon to be
implemented) or its European version NACE.
