The PIE, PIE Template and PIE Technology Platform are copy written and Trade Marked. This will be enforced as it helps to protect all of the users within the industrial supply chain, and specifically all of the users of the PIE Technology Platform, by preventing 3rd party providers from using the information in ways that were not intended by the PIE Technology Platform participants and users.
