Intel-Mobileye — IP Anatomy of the Acquisition
In March 2017, American semiconductor giant, Intel announced that it would be acquiring Mobileye NV, based in Israel. Mobileye is a maker of vision systems for cars that are used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. The deal was valued a little over US$ 15 billion and it closed in August 2017.
What we did
Given the above background, we decided to take a closer look at the portfolios of both Intel and Mobileye using the taxonomy analytics generated by Relecura. Of specific interest to us was the fit between the patent portfolios of the two companies, as well as understanding the value that Mobileye’s portfolio brought to Intel with regard to key technologies in the autonomous vehicle value-chain.
We further applied Relecura’s taxonomy analytics to work through a couple of typical what-if scenarios. We first tried to determine if there were other companies of a comparable focus, size and ambition as Intel, who might have considered an acquisition bid for Mobileye. Similarly, from the other side of table, we looked for other companies Intel might have targeted for acquisition, as an alternative to Mobileye.
