Abstract
Systems and methods are provides that access a tag cell file in computer storage media, wherein the tag cell file is associated with a abstract representation of a component to be included in a semiconductor device. The tag cell file includes a tag that identifies the component as being based on intellectual property of a third party. The abstract representation of the component is translated to a computer data file for manufacturing the semiconductor device. The tag associated with the component is included in the data file, and the data file may be parsed by accounting programs to determine the extent of usage of the intellectual property in the semiconductor device.
