Bluetooth IPRs (Intellectual Property Rights)

Original Post: Making Bluetooth IPR Accessible (SIG Forum)    Date: 2000-02-23

IPR's have important significance within Bluetooth. IPR stands for Intellectual Property Rights. Several Companies are producing designs for Bluetooth systems. These designs can be incorporated into System ASICs or FPGAs, and hence into products. Since the designers have the intellectual property rights to these Bluetooth solutions anyone wishing to use them pays a license fee. Buying in Bluetooth IPR can be faster and cheaper than designing everything yourself. 

Charles Sturman gave a talk on this subject at the IIR Geneva Bluetooth conference (1999).
