Most semiconductor teams don't have a practical IP reuse strategy, instead relying on institutional memory that sprawls across workspaces, Slack threads, and team members. If your organization is working across a mix of data management or version control systems (some combination of Git, P4, ClearCase, or SVN), the problems compound.
No single source of truth for your IP, reuse that depends on who remembers what, and audits that take weeks instead of minutes.
In this masterclass, Vishal Moondhra and Hassan Shah will walk through a practical, IP-centric framework you can apply to your org, and one already in place at many of the largest semiconductor companies.
Join the session to see:
- What "IP" really means in a reuse-ready design flow and why metadata (permissions, tech specs, dependencies, hierarchy) matters as much as the files themselves.
- How to bridge, not replace, your existing stack and work across a mix of design-data tools like GitHub, P4, SOS, and DesignSync.
- Three real-world benefits of an IP reuse program, including untangling ad-hoc block sharing, consolidating multiple DM silos after an acquisition, and scaling a product portfolio without growing engineering headcount.
- A practical rollout plan for landing IP reuse with one team and one project before expanding organization-wide
Whether you're evaluating a formal IP lifecycle management platform or just trying to get a handle on where your IP actually lives, this session gives you a concrete framework to take back to your team.
