Best Industry Practices for Intellectual Property Protection in Printed Board Manufacturing
This standard assists printed board manufacturers in the development of requirements for the protection of intellectual property (IP) for their customers in commercial, industrial, and military and other high reliability markets. This standard focuses on protection of the inherent IP designed into the printed board such that IP flows from the customer to the printed board manufacturer and IP that is incorporated into the printed board is protected. Patent and other such "forever protection" of the manufactured product is beyond the scope of this document.
