title by prescription:
(17c)
1. A title acquired by prescription. [1]
1. A title which may be acquired by use and time.
The elements of such a title are open, visible, and continuous use under a claim of right, adverse to and with the knowledge of the owner. While a title by prescription does not rest upon statutes of limitations, the courts incline to consider a prescriptive period as analogous to the time fixed by the law of the state as to limitations for commencing actions for the recovery of real property. See F.C. Ayres Mercantile Co. v Union P. R. Co. (CA8 Colo) 16 F2d 395, 399.
