How can the IPMP framework contribute to license management in MPEG-4?
MPEG-4 does not address specifics related to methods and practices of IP management. It simply provides a generic framework for the delivery of information related to this. The specifies are left to the authoring party and its representatives. The IPMP framework can also be used to deliver information related to the management of patent rights associated with an executable in the MPEG-4 terminal. The format and processing related to this are not MPEG-4 issues. They are left to implementation and the non-normative IPMP systems. The IPMP framework is an ideal delivery vehicle for IP management information to the extent that such technology is needed for this process.
