Executive briefing toward an approach to intellectual property

This white paper by Auto-ID Laboratories discusses intellectual property with respect to free markets, corporate competitive advantage and rights of patent holders. Auto-ID Labs defines a global open system for the automatic identification of physical objects by computers by creating common platform technology and specifying common interfaces like radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Providing an open system requires an intelligent, practical approach to considerations such as licenses, patents, copyright and trademarks. This paper outlines the opportunity, summarizes some helpful precedents and discusses possible practical approaches to intellectual property rights.
