OTTAWA--(Marketwire - July 7, 2009) - Chipworks (www.chipworks.com), the world's leader in
reverse engineering and patent infringement analysis for semiconductors and
microelectronic systems, is pleased to announce that Founder and CEO Terry
Ludlow and President Julia Elvidge have been cited as two of the world's
foremost intellectual property strategists by Intellectual Asset Management
(IAM) magazine in its "IAM 250 - A Guide to the World's Leading IP
Strategists."
"It's truly an honor to be recognized by the world's IP community for the
value we bring in helping semiconductor and microelectronics companies
optimize their patent licensing positions," said Terry Ludlow, CEO and
founder of Chipworks. "Today, more than ever, fact based evidence,
generated through reverse engineering, is a necessity if companies want to
make effective use of their IP in patent negotiations and litigations."
The IAM 250 recognizes individuals who offer world-class services related
to the development and implementation of strategies that enable IP owners
to maximize the value of their portfolios. World-class IP strategists have
a comprehensive approach to IP value creation and how it aligns with
business strategies. To be considered, individuals had to be nominated by
three professionals working in unrelated organizations. The 250 world's
best strategists were selected following extensive research conducted over
five months by the IAM team that included personal interviews with members
of the IP profession from across the world. Only those individuals who
clearly demonstrated exceptional skill sets, as well as profound insights
into the development, creation and management of IP value were listed on
the IAM 250.
