While I don't consider addresses to be property, if you take the opposite view then there's very likely a significant body of procurement law which already applies to property furnished in this manner and would be far more relevant than any documentation that an address block recipient received at the time..
There are all manner of theories. Some have compared it to physical land (possibly apt due to the limited nature of both), or to the way land was granted to the railroads to spur development, etc. Spinning the issue in any of several different ways could land you at wildly differing results. I'll bet that significant bodies of relevant law for each are contradictory and confusing at best. :-) Anyways, my original intent was simply to point out that there are some impediments to IPv6 adoption, somehow this morphed into a larger topic than intended. ...
