AsianFin -- Germany’s Siemens AG said it has been notified by the U.S. government that export restrictions on its semiconductor design software for China have been lifted, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday citing a company statement.

As a result, Siemens has fully restored access to its software and technologies for Chinese customers, the report said.

The decision comes after the U.S. in May imposed licensing requirements on several companies—including Siemens’ EDA division, as well as Cadence and Synopsys—before they could export chip-related software and materials to China.
