Semiconductor intellectual property core @ Wikipedia
In electronic design a semiconductor intellectual property core, IP block, or IP core is a reusable unit of logic, cell, or chip layout design and is also the intellectual property of one party. IP cores may be licensed to another party or can also be owned and used by a single party alone. The term is derived from the licensing of the patent and source code copyright intellectual property rights that subsist in the design. An uncommon...

association    

Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP)
OCP-IP is a ground-breaking industry association dedicated to making a common standard for intellectual property core interfaces, or sockets, that facilitate 'plug and play' SOC design. To make complex SOC design a reality for a broader audience, the industry needs a complete socket standard that everyone can use, no matter what their on-chip architecture is, or whose processor cores they're using.

podcast    

IPextreme: Practical IP / Intellectual Property for Embedded Systems (10 March 2009)
Rick Tomihiro of IPextreme talks with eg3.com about practical intellectual property for embedded systems, specifically the company's 8051 IP acquired from Mentor Graphics as well as the company's novel business model of taking tried-and-true IP from big semiconductor companies and working with these partners to repackage their IP with additional services and skillsets to make it both easy-to-use and reliable. A big advantage is that the IP...
