I am developing IP core. 

Generally, IP core price is too expensive to small company. 

So I would like to sell the FPGA configuration PROM with bitstream of my IP core. 

But PROM copy protection is a problem. 

 

I want to know how to protect IP core and PROM copy. 

If it is possible, I could sell the PROM with adding some royalty. 

 

I think that this business model is good for IP core provider and IP user.
