Indie IP providers designing highway to the future

Because the IP industry is somewhat convoluted, with no real standard business models or widely adopted standards, customers can be confused about what to expect from providers. IP sourcing and quality remain key areas of concern. In addition, legal processes for licensing IP remain cumbersome for both vendor and customer. Most IP providers lack the resources to provide design services. That shortcoming limits the pool of customer engagements. Those issues could hamper growth if not adequately addressed.
