Article 17(1) of the Charter protects the right to property, ensuring that individuals,companies, and entities are entitled to own, use, and dispose of their possessions.The right extends to both tangible and intangible assets and guarantees that propertycannot be taken away except in cases of public interest and under fair compensation,which must be established by law. Article 17(2) specifically highlights the growingimportance of intellectual property (IP) rights, including copyrights, patents, andtrademarks. Intellectual property extends the scope of the right to property byensuring that the creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artisticworks, and symbols, are recognized and protected. Given the increasing reliance onknowledge-based economies, protecting intellectual property rights is crucial tofostering innovation, creativity, and economic competitiveness in the EU. In thiscontext, EU law seeks to strike a balance between protecting IP rights and promotingthe public interest, ensuring that the use of intellectual property does not undulyrestrict innovation or fair competition.

Article 50 of the Charter enshrines the principle of ne bis in idem, preventing an individual from being tried or punished again for the same offence within the EU after a final verdict. This principle ensures fairness in criminal proceedings, safeguards finality of legal judgments, and applies broadly across the EU's criminal law framework and administrative sanctions resembling criminal law.
