What is the difference between perspective owners and respective owners?
I have noticed a couple of disclosure statements on the internet.
stating brands / logos are:
1. " the property of their perspective owners"
or
2. " the property of their respective owners"
What is the difference? Is one more correct than the other? I have only heard the second statement being used - ever.
Debra L - Thank, this is exactly what I thought. Perspective makes no sense at all. I thought I missed some new business lingo / more current way of thinking.
The worst thing about the internet - having no writing standards.

Perspective means "point of view", so obviously that is a non-sense phrase.
Respective is the definitive answer. It means the owner of each peice of property, etc.
Some might confuse perspective with prospective, which means possible. "The prospective buyer needed time to think before purchasing."
