ARM is an intellectual property (IP) company whose assets are its people, patent portfolio, design methods and experience. Our focus is on design and research development; we place greater store on the creation of ideas and technical methods than on the acquisition of physical assets. Most of our revenue is generated by licence fees and by royalties from our Partners, who include some of the world's largest and most innovative electronics companies. By creating this IP business model and developing long-term partnerships, we have set ourselves free from manufacturing and are able to remain a dynamic company, with global reach.

The ARM architecture is emerging as a de facto volume RISC standard which, in the foreseeable future, may well be used by billions of people worldwide. As our family of Partners continues to expand, so will the range of ARM Powered® products in tomorrow's digital market place.

Our goal is to establish ARM as the architecture for the digital world, through the close continuous collaboration with our global network of Partners.
