TY - Type of reference TI - New development of a software specification process by an expert open source management organization at an industrial level: process innovations and impact on patent policy AU - Laurent Adatto AB - A recent innovation has emerged in industrial IT management. The publication of the main implementation of the Java Enterprise Edition platform inducted in September 2019 the shaping of a software specification process established for the first time at this level by an open source management organization, the Eclipse Foundation. Industrially recognized for its expertise in coordinating IT stakeholders (including major firms) in the development of highly qualitative open source projects (particularly in the field of software engineering) and a guarantor of commercial neutrality (non-profit corporation), Eclipse started to shape an innovative specification process building on its expertise in open source management. An in-depth case study will show the transposition of proven practices from open source development to a software specification process. This generates process innovations for the research field of technology management, in particular concerning the determining issues of intellectual property rights and patents.
