IP Surgery min

It’s now difficult to remember when we didn’t reuse our own IP and didn’t have access to extensive catalogs of commercial IP. But reuse comes with a downside – without modification we can’t finetune IP specs to exactly what we want in a current design. We’re contractually limited in how we can adapt commercial IP, however vendors … Read More
