“…However, for every child design unit, only part of the design parameters belongs to it. So, it is not helpful to protect design knowledge 39 of the other child design units in the lower level. Besides, while establishing skeleton models, the strong coupling of the upper-level and lower-level design units lead to the complexity and redundancy of reference relationships among the lowerlevel design units.…”

Generally, there are two alternative design approaches available to engineers: bottom-up and top-down. Considering the sharp increase in the complexity of most mechanical products, the top-down design approach is more widely adopted in the development of complex products. However, in traditional top-down design process, design parameters are communicated through single-skeleton models, and design units are strongly coupled due to the multi-dimensional complexity of products. Toward this end, a new top-down design approach based on multi-skeleton model is proposed in this article. First, in accordance with different kinds of design parameters, three major skeleton models are defined, including location skeleton model, published skeleton model, and design skeleton model. And the characteristics of multi-skeleton models are also described. Then, the top-down design process based on the multi-skeleton model is explored, especially in the multi-skeleton modeling phase. It is also illustrated in detail that how to realize design parameter transmission and design unit reuse. Subsequently, it elaborates the communicating way and structure optimization of design parameters to support parameters controlled publishing and design units reuse. Finally, a meteorological satellite and a crawler crane design cases are implemented to expound the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework.

“…Global collaboration through virtual enterprise, high transparency of processes and data, high level of phasing in business processes, knowledge-based methods, intensive use of IT methods and tools, and high frequent data exchange are all features of a well implemented CE in each enterprise [1]. Hereby, however, the door is opened for all kinds of violations of intellectual property, if no protection is considered.…”

With the growth of the knowledge-based economy, intellectual property right (IPR) is recognized as a key factor to develop and protect strategic competitiveness and innovation of an enterprise. The increasing degree of collaboration in global relationships, ubiquitous digital communication techniques as well as tough competition has lead to an increasing importance of intellectual property protection (IPP) for enterprises. Since the law as well as ethical principles are not always adhered to, there are increasingly activities outside legal understanding. This situation is exacerbated in the context of rising crime through the misuse of modern ICT technologies ("Cyber Crime") and now employs extensively state authorities. Piracy, counterfeits and unwanted know-how drain pose a significant problem for each market leader. Intellectual property is stored in product data too. Especially modern parametric and feature-based 3D-CAD systems have been enhanced towards acquiring, representing, processing and distributing knowledge to support knowledge-based engineering (KBE) within virtual product creation. However, it is very easy to exchange huge amounts of product data within a virtual enterprise that comprises an enterprise with its supplier network. There is an enormous threat that intellectual property could fall into the wrong hands and badly jeopardize the existence of the related company. This chapter contains an analysis of this conflict area, a picture of the legal framework, a discussion on the need for action in supply chain networks and attempts by research and development as well as best practices in industry for various aspects of IPP in the context of concurrent engineering (CE).
