IPRTransfer
A situation in which an ipr is transferred by an agreement.
Internet RFC 3066 'Tags for the Identification of
Languages' specifies a primary subtag which
is a two-letter code taken from ISO 639 part
1 or a three-letter code taken from ISO 639
part 2, followed optionally by a two-letter
country code taken from ISO 3166. When a
language in ISO 639 has both a two-letter and
three-letter code, use the two-letter code;
when it has only a three-letter code, use the
three-letter code. This RFC replaces RFC
1766.

Corresponds roughly to the class of ordinary physical objects. An Object is thought of as continuing through time, but at any particular time is all there is at that time, in contrast to something that is thought of as being divided into stages (contrast Process). Examples include normal physical objects, geographical regions, and locations of Processes. The formal definition is that all the parts of an Object are present at the same time that the Object is; in other words, an Object cannot have 'parts' which are separated in time, such as the first and second halves of a football game. Note that the parts of an Object may change from time to time, and that every Object occupies exactly the same space and time as a Process (its lifespan).

Intuitively, the class of things that happen rather than endure. A Process is thought of as having temporal parts or stages, and so it cannot have all these parts together at one time (contrast Object). Examples include extended 'events' such as a football match or a race, events and actions of various kinds, states of motion and lifespans of Objects, which occupy the same space and time but are thought of as having stages instead of parts. The formal definition is: anything that lasts for a time but is not an Object. Note that a Process may have participants 'inside' it which are Objects, such as the players in a football match.
