Keeping Value Where It Belongs

For the Internet to be accepted as a sales and distribution medium for software and commercial data, owners of intellectual property have to ensure payment, while enforcing registration of users. UK developer C-Dilla believes that its Rights Management strategy meets these exacting requirements.

Intellectual property is the modern-day equivalent of the Touchstone. Handled properly, the computer software and commercial databases in which companies have invested heavily to develop turn into a profitable revenue stream. In the process, they create capital value for the business and its shareholders. How long and how strong the stream proves to be is determined by the degree of protection afforded to the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) involved.
