Keynote Talk:
The Semiconductor IP Market
(Dec. 5, 11:40-12:10)
By Jim Tully,
Vice President, Chief of Research Semiconductors
Gartner
Semiconductor IP as a real market can be traced back about 10 years. Over this time the market has changed a lot and a different set of issues now face the industry. Some have said that there is no money to be made in IP yet this sector has outgrown both the EDA and semiconductor markets and is on track to continue that trend. This session will outline the reasons for change in IP and will explore the changing nature of this sector over the next several years.
Key issues to be addressed:
• How has the IP market changed over its relatively short history?
• What are the current drivers for growth in IP?
• How will the semiconductor IP market evolve over the next five years or more?
