Automotive Technology Convergence Reminiscent of Smartphone Patent War Era
January 11, 2016 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
2015 saw a frenzy of semiconductor industry consolidation – over $100Bn compared to below $40Bn in 2014 - as firms sought the cost benefits of scale and to plug gaps in their product portfolios. Some even predict this to accelerate in 2016 . Portfolio management strategy has a significant role for either side on the M&A process and is often neglected as in-house IP teams shrink. A well-organized portfolio will mitigate the risk of inadvertently parting with precious IP. The acquiring firm should also take the time to perform comprehensive post-acquisition diligence. This is no small undertaking, but crucial to really get the most from the acquisition.
