SSIPEX BECOMES OCP-IP MEMBER AND HELPS LAUNCH CHINESE
LANGUAGE WEBSITE
New website allows Chinese members to access material in their local
language
PORTLAND, ORE. — May 24, 2005 — OCP-IP announces the Shanghai
Silicon Intellectual Property Exchange (SSIPEX) has become a member of the
Organization. The Group also announced the launch of a simplified Chinese
language website. This new version of the website allows visitors to access
the organization's information and materials in their local language,
eliminating translation barriers. OCP-IP member SSIPEX helped with creation
of materials for the new website.
SSIPEX was formed in August 2003 through an initiative of the Shanghai
Information Commission & Shanghai Technology Commission and was funded
with capital of over RMB 30 million as a not-for-profit organization.
SSIPEX customers are seeking new and unique IP products. The Exchange helps
develop IC products faster, better and less expensively, thereby reducing
the development cycle.
The Group’s mission is to bring together buyers and sellers of Silicon
Intellectual Property (SIP) to help companies maximize their return on
R&D investment and deliver IC products to market in timely manner. They
also organize and coordinate SIP research & development in China. SSIPEX
is positioned to become the headquarters for IP transactions between trading
parties as well as helping them complete IP transactions and provide a clear
audit trail that protects patent, royalty and other IP-related issues.
SSIPEX believes in the proven power of both technological and transactional
standards. As a result the missions of both SSIPEX and OCP-IP are strongly
aligned and form a powerful partnership.
"OCP-IP is providing the tools and infrastructure demanded by our rapidly
growing base of members.,” said Ian Mackintosh, president OCP-IP. “Local
language accessibility drives the globalization of the OCP standard so that
both members and visitors can do their jobs efficiently and effectively. We
look forward to even deeper collaboration with SSIPEX in the future.”
OCP-IP members receive free training, support, software tools, and
documentation, enabling members to focus on the challenges of SoC design.
Leveraging OCP-IP’s powerful free infrastructure eliminates the need to
design, document, train and evolve a proprietary standard and support tools,
thus opening up critical resources for the real design work and providing
enormous cost savings. To view the new OCP-IP Chinese website, please visit:
