Patents for PLM?
You may have missed it, but Centric Software recently received a patent for PLM collaboration…
The Centric patent provides a unique way to allow the many functional groups that work on a product during its lifecycle to proceed independently through the steps, tasks, decisions and events they must accomplish, confident that as the various product definition evolves, “intelligence” within the system will synchronize the groups and notify them if the decisions of another group will affect them or their plans.
