Intellectual Property Rights

Answer:
The control A.18.1.2 of the Annex A of ISO 27001:2013 is related to the Intellectual Property Rights, and to comply with this control basically you need to have a license of use of all assets that your organization has acquired (mainly software, but also books, video, audios, etc.). So, simply you can develop a list like this:

- Windows 7 = 10 licenses, serial number = xxxxxxxxxxx, computers where is installed….

The external auditor could check if you have this license of use for all your assets.
