On December 8, 2019, Rambus Inc., a premier silicon IP and chip provider, announced the completed acquisition of the silicon IP, secure protocols and provisioning business from Verimatrix, formerly Inside Secure. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented Rambus in the transaction.

Rambus paid $45 million at closing, and will pay up to an additional $20 million, subject to certain revenue targets. The combined portfolio of products, including the secure silicon IP and provisioning solutions from both companies, is expected to create one of the most comprehensive silicon-proven security IP portfolios in the industry.
