You bundle IPs using the package part product relationship to:

  • Document this relationship in the system

  • Be able to perform an expansion in license sales contracts

  • Evaluate the relationship in the rights availability analysis

  • Evaluate the package parts for the royalties calculation (similar to the part product relationship

Structure

A package consists of several package parts. You want to represent and place these parts in relationship with one another in the system.

Example Example

End of the example.

The system performs the following checks for the package part product relationship:

  • The package part relationship type can only be maintained between products with the Intellectual Property product type.

  • If an IP has a relationship of the package part type, a relationship of the part type cannot exist simultaneously and vice versa.

  • You can only enter single level relationships for the package part relationship type. If B is a package part in A, A cannot be a package part in other IPs and B cannot have its own package parts. However, B can still be a package part in another IP.

  • An IP cannot appear several times in a relationship tree.
