IP workshops
At the heart of LIXI are the standards created to support
interchange of information between member organisations, to
improve business processes, and reduce the cost of systems
integration.
Currently access to the intellectual property of the LIXI
standards is available to paid up Full Members. Recognising
that the mortgage industry is constantly changing, with new
participants and new products, as well as mergers, acquisitions,
and new business models, the LIXI Board has commenced a review
of the LIXI licensing regime.
The aim is protect LIXI intellectual
property, and thereby ensure a means by which revenue can be
raised to support the on-going enhancement and expansion of
the standards – but
to balance this with the needs and desires of the Members,
recognising that there is considerable variance across the
Members with regard to business functions (Lenders, Solicitors,
Software Service Providers, etc), scale (from “big four” Banks
to small Valuer companies), and corporate structure (multi-brand
and/or parent/subsidiary).
An early part of this Intellectual
Property review is a series of workshops to be conducted to
gather feedback regarding licensing and other related issues.
The consultation sessions for different user groups is scheduled
as follows:
Technology Service Providers
10am-1pm
Thursday 8 June 2006
Other Service Providers (Solicitors, Valuers,
Lands Dept etc)
2pm-5pm
Thursday 8 June 2006
Brokers and other Intermediaries
10am-1pm
Friday 9 June 2006
Lenders
2pm-5pm
Friday 9 June 2006
The consultation sessions will be hosted
at:
Perpetual
Level 12, Angel Place
123 Pitt Street, Sydney
The sessions will be run by consultants
assisting LIXI with our IP licensing and business reviews,
Andrew Perry of
legal.consult and Dr Michael Neary.
Registration is available
at the LIXI website but questions and correspondence
regarding our IP licensing review can be directed to
lixi-review@legalconsult.com.au.
Please note that this review process is open to both current
LIXI Members, and also to lapsed members, or other interested
non-Member parties who may not yet have taken up membership.
We encourage you to get involved in these reviews so that
our future licensing and business model will better meet your
needs.
