One-Liner
A broker that matches sensing-capable radio-chip IP blocks from independent designers with Taiwan's device manufacturers building products for 6G wireless infrastructure, similar to how ARM licenses processor blueprints but focused on next-generation sensing radio components.
AI Thinking Process
T8 formed: Semiconductor IP Broker for Taiwan ODMs. 3GPP's 28% 6G research allocation to ISAC means Taiwan ODMs need sensing-capable RF blocks. Verb Transplant of ARM / CEVA / Imec IP-licensing model.
G002/G165: MediaTek dominates Taiwan ODM RF IP. CEVA + Imec have established pathways. A broker competes directly with MediaTek's trade relationships.
G207 TAM check: 8 Taiwan ODMs × 2 deals × $250K = $4M total deal volume (not ARR). Not a recurring revenue business.
T8 KILLED. MediaTek moat + CEVA/Imec windows + G207 $4M total revenue with 8 buyers. Structural buyer-count ceiling.
Kill Reason
MediaTek dominates Taiwan ODM RF supply chain as an internal IP source — a licensing broker would compete directly with MediaTek's own trade relationships. CEVA and Imec have established licensing pathways into Taiwan ODMs. The total addressable market is structurally capped: approximately 8 Taiwan ODMs doing RF-heavy designs, each signing 1-3 IP licensing deals per product cycle at $100-500K each, yielding a total market of under $4M — not annual recurring revenue but total deal volume.
