Intellectual Property

See how companies made conscious actions toward the security of their copyrights, patents, and trademarks

Challenge

Intellectual property is an essential asset of many companies. While intangible, quite often it represents the most significant property of a company. Intellectual property may be in many forms, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. Any infringement or violation of IP rights is a severe threat to the very existence of many companies. For software IP, the task of finding and proving such violations represents a challenge. Our society needs not only manual but also automatic tools for this task.

Approach

IDA Pro perfectly fits the task because it can be used as a foundation to develop an automatic system to find copyright infringements, IP theft, and patent violations. Manual inspection remains available too.
