Sorry, but it appears that you've all gone off on a tangent here confusing this with something altogether different (which I'll get to in a minute).
So far none of the responses to the above question has even come close, so here goes:
There actually IS a product named 'NX Intellectual Property Management', or 'NX IP Management' for short, which while it's not quite ready for prime-time, we hope that it will be soon. The current plan is to offer it with NX 7.5 (probably as part of an MR later in the year) and while it will work with data managed by TeamCenter, that will not be a prerequisite.
For now the best description I can give goes something like this:
NX IP Management...
* Protects NX data files issued to external partners and suppliers
* Only authorized persons can perform actions such as view, export, print, measure, and modify structure
* Expiration dates/times cancels all privileges extended to the receiver including viewing the NX data
The expected value to our customers is that this will support ERM (Enterprise Right's Management) to help protect a companies IP (Intellectual
Property) when issuing NX data to external suppliers and partners.
It will utilize a 3rd party product which is being integrated into NX 7.5.
More details will be forthcoming when we are ready to announce the pricing and availability of this product.
As for the other topic, the one the thread seems to have inadvertently latch onto, this is something else and does not involve our customer's Intellectual Property, but rather OUR OWN (Siemens PLM's IP)!! Basically the contents of the letter posted by Stefan a couple of days ago should be self-explanatory and again you may hear more about this, but for now, you should not be too concerned as this is NOT something that customers will need to purchase or even to worry much about since if everyone plays by the rules, nothing much happens. The intention is that this will be non-intrusive and will not involve any data or records created by our customers, but rather only our products and code.
BTW, this should not be a surprise as Siemens PLM is not the only company taking actions similar to this. As a member of the BSA (Business Software
Alliance) we are but one of many companies who are taking various steps with respect to protecting our Intellectual Property and as I said, you will probably be hearing some additional details in the near future, although don't expect us to make too big a deal of this since, as I said, under ideal conditions, nothing much will change for any of us.
If you would like to learn more about the BSA and what their goals and programs are, as well as get a list of all the members, may I suggest that you go to:

If there are any remaining questions, please, feel free...
