Engineers who are thinking of launching a silicon intellectual property (IP) business in their garage with a couple of friends had better think again, according to panelists at this week's EDA Consortium meeting. The overall message: it's a big business for big players now.
Panelists at the EDA Consortium meeting discussed and debated IP business models, and there were differences of opinion on several topics, including pure-play IP vendors. But the overall message seems to be that if you want to succeed in the IP business, you'd better have high-value IP and an integrated solution.
