EDA Mergers and Acquisitions Wiki
A Compilation of EDA Company Merger Listing All the Logos an EDA Company Owns
This list is a compilation over many years of mergers and acquisitions in the EDA market. The original compilation was done by an individual (Ian Getreu [1]) and is not an official list associated with any company or organization. Companies that have not bought or merged with other companies are not included in the list.
There is no guarantee of accuracy or completeness. Mergers and acquisitions that were not announced via press releases are probably not included. We welcome any additions and corrections.
The original objective was simply to list the number of logos owned by a company. So, if company A bought company B and was then bought by company C, this would be listed via indentations as:

After IBM sold its mechanical CADAM mainframe and workstation business to Dassault Systemes, the company changed its name from CADAM, Inc to Altium in order to avoid confusion with the product name CADAM. The remaining parts of the firm were Microcadam, IBM CAD, P-CAD and a joint venture in Japan. After the mechanical businesses split off, IBM sold Altium to Accel Technologies in 1995. Protel International acquired Accel in 2000 and in 2001 changed its name to Altium Limited
