1) Corporate Value & IP Related Investment Decisions: Provide a user friendly valuation model and introduce corporate beta site applications for a design and feedback loop that will support the operational framework of methods, measures, and metrics in the initial application of integrating business and legal pathways to IP investment decisions by the end of Q3 2007. This is step 1 in a multi step research process to define value and the corporate level economics of IP based commerce. The Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce (BEA) will be the primary government relationship in this project. This project will help establish business standards for corporate managers to more effectively recognize and create new wealth from their IP related asserts.

2) National Economic Infrastructure: Provide planning and leadership support for the development of an inclusive industry-government effort to identify and remove barriers to IP based transactions; and, further examine the influences of regulation, accounting standards, tax and their inhibitions on capital markets in order to create an economy that can adequately accommodate IP based commerce. Technology Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce (TA) will be the primary government relationship in this project. This project is intended to eliminate the barriers and establish business practices, protocols and infrastructure to facilitate IP based commerce and corporate global competitiveness.
