The problem with Creative is that it keeps burning more cash in trying to compete in the global consumer audio market where it clearly lacks that marketing prowess and scale to be successful.
if only Sim would give up his global ambition and sell out its no doubt valuable patents to a larger player, and return the cash to shareholders. Hope that in his 60s, Sim will come to terms that he will not be able to come up with another global product that is anywhere as profitable as his original sound blaster, and stop throwing more good money after bad.

Anyone knows what do the dollar value beside the patents mean? the capitalised IA cost?

I thought that is their core biz now?
My views are your Gilbert & Sullivan's:

Invest in people, not products. They may have a great product now, but they also have a 2 decade history of mismanagement. I will believe it when I see it (business execution).
