Abstract
As the title implies, the independent Intellectual Property (IP) provider represents the functional design approach to the future, at both the IC and system level. This report relates only to the independent intellectual property provider of memory functions, i.e., those companies whose sole business model is based upon the development and license of pre-defined memory cores. The independent memory intellectual property provider market is forecast to grow from $229.4 million last year, to a projected $410.1 million by 2009, translating to a compound annual growth rate of 12.3%.
