Securing Intellectual Property in Collaborative Environments: a guide
This guide points out how firms and customer organizations manage their Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) when using ICTs to share technical data in the context of research and development, and production collaboration.

It also recommends practices and policies to improve IPR management in such contexts.
