No one has the balls to report that it's more than just a common occurrence that many Chinese employees engage in IP theft casually. And this plays a huge role in gaining competitive advantage for the Chinese companies benefiting off IP theft, needless to say.
There are ample real world reports of such occurrences, even.
- baybal2 6y agoYou can at least see a difference from casually downloading pirated Cadence soft from Chinese FTPs =D. But saying this, you think would anybody there decide to pay $1M just to order few hundred Cadence licenses (and this is on the low end,) when they can not to with zero consequences? This is more than the total capital of most semiconductor companies there. I'd say people doing that have different aims. They "grew out" of pirated Cadence, and now want more serious tools like ones custom made Cadence makes for top tier clients like Intel, Apple, NVidia, and AMD.

- bsder 6y agoJokes on China, though. The people with useful knowledge left Cadence, Synopsys, etc. decades ago. Just take a look at the horrible state of the Design Automation Conference over the past 10 years.
