Some researchers are based on the understanding of the business reputation of a legal entity as an intangible asset, and therefore it should be protected by law. 

Among other things, they proceed from the concept of property, including in its understanding by international law and international judicial instances (the European Court of Human Rights [1]). In particular, the concept of "property" ("property") formulated by the norms of international law as an object of legal protection (for example, in paragraph 1 of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention on Human Rights, as amended - in terms of the names of articles - Protocol No. 11 to the Convention) refers to property a fairly wide range of not only objects, but also rights, claims ("rights of claim"), intangible assets.

At the same time, an excessively broad interpretation of "property" and "property" is also unacceptable, as it can lead to serious terminological confusion: E.A. Yershova, for example, based on her own understanding of the acts of the European Court of Human Rights, believes that under the concept of "goodwill" (as part of property), which includes the category "business reputation", various intangible benefits are combined, which are, therefore, the object of property rights [2], which, however, does not correspond to the Russian legal tradition and does not directly follow from the text of the acts of the European Court of Human Rights.

Be that as it may, the European Court of Human Rights refers to "property" in the broader sense of the category "property" not only intangible assets in the form of results of intellectual activity [3], licenses and permits for commercial activities and private practice [4], but also business reputation as a kind of property. 

At the same time, business reputation in both cases, both as a positive property of a business and as a central component of "goodwill" in the form of property (intangible asset), in fact, cannot be the subject of unlawful appropriation, such as a trademark, brand name, know-how, etc., however, it can be the object of diminution, that is, it can be damaged, it is only protected by law and is present in the form of a business characteristic "covertly", manifesting itself only in two cases: positive (when selling an enterprise as a business) and negative (when using legal remedies).
