Synopsys latest acquisitions: ExpertIO (VIP) and Inventure (IP)... Any counter-attack from Cadence?-February 8, 2012 |

The acquisition of Inventure, a subsidiary of Zuken, will have a major impact on the Interface IP market, even if it’s on the Japanese market only, as Inventure was very successful on this domestic market, but only in Japan. This acquisition will also have an impact on the balance sheet of an IP vendor based in Canada, we will see why.
