Tela Innovations

name: Tela Innovations
description: Tela Innovations, Inc. is a semiconductor design-technology and intellectual-property company founded in 2005
  and headquartered in Los Gatos, California. It developed gridded, straight-line, one-dimensional layout structures and the
  pre-defined physical topologies built on them, sold as standard-cell libraries and embedded-SRAM peripheral circuits intended
  to let logic, memory, analog and I/O blocks scale to advanced process nodes with improvements in variability, performance,
  leakage and area — without forcing customers to change their existing design methodology, equipment set or process technology.
  Alongside the libraries it sold physical IC design services and layout- and power-optimization software; in 2009 it acquired
  Blaze DFM, adding patented design-for-manufacturing and power-optimization capability for digital logic in SoCs and ASICs.
  It was backed by Intel Capital, Cadence Design Systems, Qualcomm, KT Venture Group, Malloy & Company and Black Diamond Ventures,
  and a substantial share of its later activity was patent licensing, including a portfolio licence taken by Samsung in 2016.
  Tela never operated a developer program, public API, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable specification — its products
  were delivered as licensed cell libraries, EDA software and design services under commercial agreement, not as a callable
  service. Its corporate host, www.tela-inc.com, still resolves in DNS but no longer runs a web service (ports 80 and 443
  both refuse connections) and has no Internet Archive capture with content after January 2022, so it is deliberately not
  wired as a Website pointer. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.

  mail to Microsoft 365, but no web service answers on port 80 or 443. There is no docs, developer, api or app subdomain in
  DNS. See well-known/tela-innovations-well-known.yml and security/tela-innovations-domain-security.yml for the probe records.

x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: Tela Innovations' corporate host www.tela-inc.com still resolves to 129.121.136.207 but accepts no TCP connections
    on port 80 or 443, and the Internet Archive's last capture with content predates 2022, so the company has no reachable
    web presence, no docs host and no developer, api or app subdomain in DNS to run contract discovery against.
