Catalan term or phrase: els béns i els drets
This is a collocation in CAT and in ES, that is they go hand in hand.

My question is should I translate it simply as ASSETS, as the various online glossaries seem to suggest? My understanding is that DRETS refers to rights acquired that are protected legally, that are intangible assets (maybe things like intellectual property rights, goodwill, etc), yet I think in EN that this concept is covered by ASSETS.

Constitueixen el patrimoni de l’Agència els béns i els drets que li són adscrits i els béns i els drets propis de qualsevol naturalesa que adquireixi o rebi per qualsevol títol, els quals han d’ésser registrats en l’inventari corresponent.
