Managing the Intellectual Property Disassembly Problem
研究了知识产权拆解问题，即如何通过合同安排分配知识产权和许可，以支持公司、业务单元或项目的分离与解散，基于萨博汽车和沃尔沃汽车的案例提出了管理框架。
This article deals with the intellectual property (IP) disassembly problem, which is an increasingly important problem in various contexts. The IP disassembly (IPD) problem is defined as the problem of finding a contractual arrangement for allocation of IP rights and licenses that allows for separating and disintegrating a company, business unit, project entity, resource set, or IP unit in order to enable a transaction, organizational transfer, or dissolution of it. Based on a comparative case study of corporate transactions of Saab Automobile and Volvo Car Corporation this article conceptualizes and characterizes the problem and then develops an IPD framework for managing it.
