SIPAC Becomes OCP-IP Member and Helps Launch Korean Language Website
New website allows Korean members to access material in their local language
PORTLAND, ORE. —May 3, 2005 —Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP), announces the System Integration and IP Authoring Center (SIPAC) has become a member. The Group also announced the launch of a Korean website. The new version of the website allows Korean visitors to access the organization's information and materials in their native language, eliminating translation barriers. OCP-IP member SIPAC helped with creation of materials for the new website.
SIPAC was established in 2001 with the help of the Korean Intellectual Property Office and is becoming the headquarters for all Korean IP business. SIPAC’s mission is to build infrastructure for creation, assessment, and internet based trading, of IP as well as legal and technical protection of IP. SIPAC is leading a new movement to reconstruct the Korean semiconductor industry from memory-dependent business to SoC (system on a chip).
SIPAC believes in the proven power of both technological and transactional standards. As a result the missions of both SIPAC and OCP-IP are clearly aligned and make for a powerful partnership.
“Interest in OCP in Asia is extremely high, and with the addition of recent members, such as Toshiba, NEC, Kawasaki, Zuken, Realtek, SIPAC and others, we recognized and addressed the need to deliver valuable OCP information to our members in their national language,” said Ian Mackintosh, president OCP-IP. "This is another example of OCP-IP providing the tools and infrastructure demanded by our rapidly broadened base of members. Local language accessibility drives the globalization of the OCP standard so that both members and visitors can do their jobs efficiently and effectively.”
OCP-IP members receive free training, support, software tools, and documentation, enabling members to focus on the challenges of SoC design. Leveraging OCP-IP’s powerful free infrastructure eliminates the need to design, document, train and evolve a proprietary standard and support tools, thus opening up critical resources for the real design work and providing enormous cost savings.
