And it's a fine opinion, too. I don't disagree.
To you, DB and others, I say the change in direction by Brainchip mgt recently to strategically move to I.P. deals (versus chip mfg) leads me to believe there will be many more I.P. deals signed than we can imagine. I don't know when, or how, but they wouldn't have gone this direction if they themselves didn't foresee this happening. So, perhaps partners today will become I.P. sales tomorrow. That's my spin on "partnering"
Or, looking at this another way,....why isn't Megachips just a partner? Because their customers have indicated they want alot of what Brainchip offers.
It strikes me that partners are future I.P. customers who have no idea how much product(s) and revenue will come from our relationship. But when and if they do, it may be to the benefit of the company to sign an I.P. deal with Brainchip.
So, I guess I am sort of agreeing with Mccabe84 and his thinking.
Time will tell. dippY
Hey dippY, it would be great, if we got a lot of individual IP deals, especially in the short term, for the share price.
But I don't think that's going to happen..
What we will get, is a few enabling "Umbrella" IP deals, which will cover a wide range of customers (who can then remain anonymous, if they wish).
If MegaChips, was just a partner, each one of their AKIDA customers, would have to sign an individual IP usage/licence agreement, with us.
Which would be fantastic!
But that's not what's happened..
MosChip, a similar company to MegaChips (both design chips, but don't produce them) have indicated interest in an IP licence, so there's another possible "Umbrella" deal..
MosChip, having a variety of customers.
ARM and SiFive, also possible IP deals in the future?
Can anyone explain the dynamics of these partnerships, in regards to using our IP?
Who are Valeo going though?
Most likely MegaChips, but who knows?
Maybe we will get an IP deal from them..
Renesas's suite of products, containing AKIDA, will be minor building blocks, in countless numbers of customer applications and you will never, see anything about us on the box, of the device.
All our IP deals, will be at the Top Level, who supply the solutions to the "Household" names, we were originally promised, by the former CEO, LDN.
No one's ever going to get bored, following Brainchip's journey, that's one certainty..
There's mystery and suspense, in spades!
