In economics, capital goods or capital are "those durable produced goods that are in turn used as productive inputs for further production" of goods and services. [...] Capital goods can also be immaterial, when they take the form of intellectual property. Many production processes require the intellectual property to (legally) produce their products. (From Wikipedia)
