What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes intellectual property as registered and exploited rights: patents, trademarks, copyrights and designs with their scope, territory and term, the applications and examinations that create them, the registers that record them, and the licenses, assignments and oppositions through which they live in the economy.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Patents, trademarks, copyright, IP licensing
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because IP rights are legal objects with their own lifecycle (file, publish, grant, renew, lapse) distinct from the creative or technical subject matter they protect.
What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog

Moral aspects Derived, awaiting review
- The neutral owner archetype is the right holder, who owns the right and its exploitation records, while the IP registrar keeps the public register as custodian of record.
Owners Filled
