ACCESSIBILITY: The location of economic activity (especially in terms of land) relative to other activities. As real estate agents are prone to say, "The three most important factors in real estate are 'location, location, location.'"

Efficient, low cost transportation systems improve accessibility.

PATENT: The guaranteed ownership and control of an invention, innovation, or production technique by government for a period of time (currently 17 years).
