Abstract

“Reuse of intellectual property” means that the owner of intellectual property (ideas, concepts, or algorithms that can be implemented in hardware and/or software, in the following referred to as “IP”), which exists, e.g., in the form of software, firmware, or chips, intends to make economic use of this know-how by making it available to a reuser. This transfer makes economic sense for both parties: the owner of the rights receives additional compensation reducing the development costs and increasing his profit. The reuser, on the other hand, does not incur any development costs, since he can resort to previously developed know-how. This means that the reuser’s profit also increases. Reused IP technology will probably be used much more extensively in view of increased time-to-market demands and shorter design cycles.
