Partnership to expand electronic design automation collaboration

Aart de Geus, Chairman and co-CEO of Synopsys, stated: "With the increasing complexity in electronics driven by AI, automotive, industrial and other high impact markets, semiconductor and systems companies are grappling with design challenges from the roots of silicon all the way up to the application software. We look forward to working with Siemens to provide increasingly powerful EDA and related solutions to our mutual customers."

In addition, Synopsys and Siemens have settled all outstanding patent litigation between Synopsys and Mentor Graphics. The settlement includes mutual seven year patent cross licenses between Synopsys and Siemens, and between Synopsys and Mentor Graphics, as well as a Synopsys payment to Siemens of $65m.
