Possessed case

The possessed case of a language is a grammatical case used to indicate a relationship of possession. It differs from the possessive case in that the latter one marks the possessor, while the former one marks the possessed. [1]

See Possession (linguistics) for a survey of the different categories of possession distinguished in languages.
