Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trespass to personal property is the tort that arises when someone intentionally interferes with the right of the owner to exclusive possession and enjoyment of personal property. Conversion involves taking someone's personal property and using or disposing of it as if it were one's own, while misappropriation involves taking someone's intellectual property or trade secrets without permission. Battery involves intentional harmful or offensive contact with a person, not their property.
