Description

The global semiconductor intellectual property market has been witnessing significant growth in the recent years. Semiconductor intellectual properties or IPs refer to the design elements like circuitry, logic, and subsystems that are developed by semiconductor IP core vendors to be embedded into ASIC/SoC/FPGA designs. The growing complexities in chip designs and decreasing product life cycles have increased the demand for reusable and customizable IP cores from vendors. Additionally, the rapid adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and edge computing across various industries has fueled the need for efficient and robust semiconductor IP solutions. With rising investments in R&D by chip manufacturers and IP vendors, the global semiconductor IP market is expected to witness substantial revenue opportunities during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

The global semiconductor intellectual property market is driven by factors such as increasing demand for customized IPs, growing investments in fabless semiconductor companies, and rising adoption of cutting-edge technologies across industries. However, high costs associated with IP development and compatibility issues linked to IP integration are some of the factors restraining the market growth. The market provides opportunities due to proliferation of connected devices, emergence of new applications utilizing semiconductor IPs, and increasing government support towards semiconductor industry in various countries. Key players are collaborating with IP vendors and fabless companies to offer customers coherent and optimized solutions. They are also investing in R&D to develop IPs supporting advanced technologies such as AI, 5G, and IoT.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
