Component: CRM-IM-IPM
Component Name: Intellectual Property Management
Description: IPM: Payments that are made to a rights owner or licensor as a share of the revenues obtained from the management of an IP right. This share can be defined on the basis of license revenues from license sales contracts with licensees third parties. It can also be defined from other exploitation of rights transferred by the licensor e.g. by product sales of media or merchandizing products.
