Cadence and ARM Announce Strategic IP Interoperability Agreement

Broad agreement to enable IP interoperability testing and system performance optimization to improve SoC performance and time to market

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) and ARM today announced the signing of a broad Intellectual Property (IP) Interoperability Agreement. This multiyear agreement provides reciprocal access to relevant IP portfolios from the Cadence® IP Group and ARM. Additionally, the agreement grants both companies rights to manufacture test chips containing Cadence IP and ARM IP and to provide development platforms to customers. The ability to test the IP interoperability in silicon is intended to enable Cadence and ARM to optimize performance and interoperability within systems on chip (SoCs) while accelerating time to market for customers in markets such as mobile, consumer, networking, storage, automotive and the Internet of Things (IoT).
