Atypon is now offering customers on its Literatum platform full integration with the IP Registry to solve the problems caused by inefficiencies and inaccuracies within the process of managing, updating and communicating IP address changes.
The IP Registry is a single repository, pre-populated with data for over 60,000 content licensing organisations worldwide. The original data within the IP Registry was the result of a 4 year audit and clean-up of the data held by over 150 publishers. The results of this audit highlighted that 58% of the data held by publishers at that time was incorrect. TheIPregistry.org has now been live for 18 months and during that time has accepted an average of 800 IP updates each month. Each of these updates is checked and verified by the IP registry team in order to maintain the integrity of the registry. Approximately 20% of the updates received initially contain some form of error, demonstrating the importance of the checking and verifying process. There are now over 1.5 billion verified IP addresses held within the IP Registry.
