Intellectual property licensor ARM Holdings plc (Cambridge, England) has a research interest in machine learning and neural networks but is not yet prepared to say whether it can be turned into commercial business.ARM is the global leader in the licensing and supply of hardware in the form of IP. The company had about a 46 percent share of the global market with $1.2 billion worth in business in 2014, according to market research company Gartner.
