SIPAC BECOMES OCP-IP MEMBER AND HELPS LAUNCH KOREAN
LANGUAGE WEBSITE
New website allows Korean members to access material in their local
language
PORTLAND, ORE. — May 3, 2005 — Open Core Protocol
International Partnership (OCP-IP), announces the System Integration and IP
Authoring Center (SIPAC) has become a member. The Group also announced the
launch of a Korean website. The new version of the website allows Korean
visitors to access the organization's information and materials in their
native language, eliminating translation barriers. OCP-IP member SIPAC
helped with creation of materials for the new website.
SIPAC was established in 2001 with the help of the Korean Intellectual
Property Office and is becoming the headquarters for all Korean IP business.
SIPAC’s mission is to build infrastructure for creation, assessment, and
internet based trading, of IP as well as legal and technical protection of
IP. SIPAC is leading a new movement to reconstruct the Korean semiconductor
industry from memory-dependent business to SoC (System-on-Chip).
SIPAC believes in the proven power of both technological and transactional
standards. As a result the missions of both SIPAC and OCP-IP are clearly
aligned and make for a powerful partnership.
"Interest in OCP in Asia is extremely high, and with the addition of recent
members, such as Toshiba, NEC, Kawasaki, Zuken, Realtek, SIPAC and others,
we recognized and addressed the need to deliver valuable OCP information to
our members in their national language,” said Ian Mackintosh, president
OCP-IP. "This is another example of OCP-IP providing the tools and
infrastructure demanded by our rapidly broadened base of members. Local
language accessibility drives the globalization of the OCP standard so that
both members and visitors can do their jobs efficiently and
effectively.”
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.
