IPC 1071

This standard will assist printed board manufacturers in the development of requirements for the protection of intellectual property (IP) for their customers in commercial, industrial, and military and other high reliability markets. This standard will focus on protection of the inherent IP designed into the printed board such that IP flows from the customer to the PB manufacturer and IP that is incorporated into the PB is protected. Patent and other such “forever protection” of the manufactured product is beyond the scope of this document. 15 pages. Released December 2010.
