scope:

The Intellectual Property Rights Framework defines a standard for the consistent structure, labeling, and description of intellectual property rights management policies and procedures for assets. An asset is any item of interest that is stored in a reuse library, such as design documentation, specifications, source code, user manuals, and test suites. This standard addresses legal restrictions commonly asserted in the U.S. for assets, including copyright, patents, license agreements, and export restrictions. This standard does not address international issues or mechanisms for enforcing legal restrictions, other than for the purpose of describing such mechanisms.
