An intellectual property (IP) and license management application that proactively manages third-party rights and mitigates legal risks. It helps the client minimize license costs and reduces the risk of legal action.
The client wanted to collect data of vehicles, parts and components, standard essential parts (SEP) technologies used, daily usage volume of parts, and suppliers for production plants.
They wanted to use this data to generate reports and create a consolidated view of licensing data, such as identifying the supply chain with the lowest license cost, obtaining discounts from license aggregators, and tracking licenses already paid for within the supply chain.
The quantity of data handled is huge and the responsibility to protect data and privacy is also critical. The application is tagged confidential within the organization and data is stored on-premise on Oracle database. The application has a separate “anonymization” job that runs on a monthly basis to remove data of product engineers and other stakeholders who are no longer associated with the organization and “anonymize” the data related to them. This job will convert references to those users as “anonymous” users so that SEP-relevant data is still available after serving legal requirements.
We developed an IP and license management system designed to collect, manage, and analyze vast amounts of data related to vehicle parts, SEP technologies, and supplier contracts. The system ensures optimized database performance and supports informed decision-making regarding licensing costs and compliance.
The system additionally collects information from another main data source which is the product development team. It enables the product engineers to update information about parts, components, SEP technologies, licenses, and supplier purchases to the system via an internal website. A separate website is provided for the suppliers to enter data and licenses related to their contracts.
