“…Data preparation can even be done for multiple recipients with multiple process requirements and filter criteria. After introduction the customer can operate the IPP solution for his purpose [43]. Another solution approach subdivides the CAD model that needs to be exchanged in two portions: a confidential portion which has to be encoded, and a non-confidential portion which can be fully accessed by a partner without any restriction.…”

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).

“…Despite many attempts and research projects nobody succeeded to apply the DRM/ERM on the singular entities within the CAD model. Such IPP methods and tools are still subject to further research while others are already implemented well adjusted to the requirements of the respective information flow [13].…”

Product data contains one of the most valuable assets of a company -the intellectual property (IP). Especially the modern parametric and feature-based 3D CAD systems have been enhanced towards acquiring, representing, processing and distributing knowledge to support KBE (Knowledge-Based Engineering) within the virtual product creation. However, it is very easy to exchange any product related information by electronic media. In the age of the globalism the product data exchange between different parties in the supply chain has become the ubiquitous and frequent form of business communication by transferring huge amounts of product data within the virtual enterprise. So there is an enormous threat that the intellectual property could fall into the wrong hands and badly damage the product innovation in a momentous way. This contribution analyzes this area of conflict, discusses the need for action in supplier networks and describes attempts from research and development as well as productive software solutions for intellectual property protection (IPP) based on CAD models and their best practices.

“…Holland et al [33] proposed an Ethereum-based network that works as a digital certificate of authenticity for 3D design intellectual property assets. They have integrated blockchain into OpenDXM GlobalX software [105], which is used by manufacturers for sharing data with maximum intellectual property protection. Each licensor and licensee has his/her own private keys.…”

Supply chains are challenged with providing transparency and trust among participants and stakeholders and ensuring an efficient operation. However, some of these challenges are difficult to resolve because the records of a supply chain can be altered by its participants. The emergence of blockchain technology has been identified as a promising solution to resolve these challenges. Blockchain is an immutable distributed ledger. Here, we introduce blockchain and survey different blockchain frameworks that have been recently proposed to address some of the supply chain challenges. We describe the operation of these blockchain frameworks and their components. We identify the objectives and motivation in each of the surveyed use cases and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each adopted framework by different industries. We analyze how the reported blockchain frameworks address supply chain challenges. We present a comparative summary of existing literature on blockchain for supply chain. We also summarize the properties of a blockchain framework for its successful adoption in future supply chains and discuss several challenges and opportunities that remain for future research.
