Our Partners
Patience is the hardest thing when investingThinking more about this email and I am left a little confused.
When Arm and Intel became partners I was so excited. Also. When all the dots joining seemed like it was a given, that the tip of the iceberg would sink from the weight of the potential customers below the watermark. Even those (potential) customers at the tip are now potential still, despite their public acknowledgement of “trialling” the tech.
So. These partners are simply collaborators in the tech until such time time that that sign an IP licence. I’m sure this has been fully known, but the severe absence of IP income is baffling.
If Arm and Intel have taken the step to publicly acknowledge “if you can’t beat the, join them” why wouldn’t they sign an IP licence. Signing the licence gives certainty of use of the IP. Until then it remains uncertain and increases risk in development cycle.
The way it stands at present, Megachips and Renesas stand to take market share from Arm and Intel unless Arm and Intel are pushing the design through these two fabs, in turn reducing their margin on their design. And therein may lay the answer. I don’t know. Can someone make better sense of all the smoke and mirror strategy.

Qualcomm and Valeo parternship too.
Lots of scenarios.
Sony could licence the Brainchip IP from MegaChips a company they have had a long standing relationship with and which has a dedicated team of engineers trained in AKIDA technology.
Sony, MegaChips and Prophesee could then work together to produce the intelligent lense for Qualcomm and Apple.
Prophesee and MegaChips could work with Nintendo to produce intelligent VR headsets for gaming control.
Many different ways this could play out.

I personally cannot make sense of it because it is possible to legally enter an IP licence with ARM/Intel Foundries in such a manner as to not require an announcement on the ASX.Thinking more about this email and I am left a little confused.

Shorters are still bashing us though
Yes I am led to believe legal gymnastics will be a demonstration sport at the next Olympics.Prophesee already have the metavision sensor from Sony. The metavision sensor will be installed in phones with Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC.
Qualcomm's SoC will require a processor for the Prophesee metavision sensor. Will either be an in-house Qualcomm processor as has been mentioned here and/or SynSense (unlikely) or Akida (likely).
Another way around it is for the foundry to have the licence agreement.
"They hope to have ironed" .... When I read that I thought you were going to say .. The table cloth!Yes I am led to believe legal gymnastics will be a demonstration sport at the next Olympics.
They hope to have ironed out the rules around cocaine and amphetamine use during competition by then.
Aw! My favourite drawing.Not sure this has been mention.

Having Akida IP in the Intel/ARM ecosystem is not the same as Intel/ARM being a licencee of the Akida IP.I personally cannot make sense of it because it is possible to legally enter an IP licence with ARM/Intel Foundries in such a manner as to not require an announcement on the ASX.
For example ARM & Intel could enter an IP licence agreement where the payment of the licence fee was to occur as part of royalties on any product they may in the end sell a customer.
TSMC has a library of IP some of which it developed, some of which it bought out right and some of which it licences from third parties. It just sits there until a customer wants to build a chip and requires design assistance and then TSMC reaches into the IP library to find what is needed.
Now taking this model both ARM and Intel could operate on the same basis and as no income is attached and no numbers for future sales are known there is nothing requiring an ASX announcement hence the press release and the entries on Brainchip’s website.
Then later acknowledgment in the 4C, half yearly and Annual Reports.

If they are the only 2 that get the license then we should be buying stock in them too. What a monopoly they'd haveNice, positive announcement by the company.
The Boards business strategy just keeps on keeping on, opening up like an umbrella, expanding to reveal the full circle.
In my opinion, to think that Renesas and MegaChips will only ever be our two Licensees that some maybe eluding to, is completely and
utterly not what our company is about, we want as many IP licenses sold as possible, and the speed at which this whole scenario is currently playing out is a little frustrating, BUT, I personally believe that things will speed up a touch when our new reference chips make themselves available.
The company has already stated that achieving this milestone, despite the fab process maybe only a third of the way through it's production process to date, shows that the Akida technology can be produced across a range of different fabs and on different platforms, in turn proving if you like that, Akida is extremely flexible and this may well be the catalyst that gets a number of our EAP's across the line to signing their own IP License.
A friend of mine has booked a meeting timeslot with Brainchip in Germany, I'll keep you posted with regards some photos of the team during the Embedded Systems Conference.
To date, the only company to state that they are currently producing a product with Akida IP embedded, is Renesas, and it has stated that they hope to bring this product to market in late 2023, so lets just keep things in prospective.
My overall opinion on the current situation.
