Patent Reverse Engineering
REVERSE ENGINEERING
What is Reverse Engineering (RE)?
​

Reverse Engineering is a method by which an object is deconstructed for exploring its design, architecture, code and components. It is done to get the information about the components used in making the object. It can be applied to hardware, software and even to plant or animal DNA.

Copperpod helps attorneys dig deep into technology products and find evidence of patent infringement through reverse engineering, product testing and network packet capture. Our RE services have been relied upon by leading trial attorneys for negotiating over a dozen settlements and royalty agreements on behalf of technology clients.

Copperpod helps attorneys evaluate patent infringement and uncover hard-to-find evidence of use through public documentation research, product testing and RE techniques outlined above. Please contact us at [email protected] to know more about our capabilities.

SOURCE CODE REVIEW
What is Source Code Review?
​

Source Code Review helps identify crucial evidence of infringement from within the defendant's source code before and during fact discovery. Source code evidence can arguably be the most powerful weapon in a litigator's toolkit, requiring not only specialized tools but also unique expertise.Hosting and conducting a source code review can be expensive in terms of time, cost and security. Attorneys necessarily have to manage a balancing act to ensure not only that the producing party's source code remains secure but also that the code inspection is done diligently and efficiently.

​

Copperpod's experts navigate through the source code quickly to identify:

​

Implementation of the patented technology with detailed excerpts

Missing source code

Missing documentation referenced in the code

Most appropriate witnesses for testifying

Relevant development and release dates

Code from third parties

Code governed by open-source licenses



We use highly specialized tools and software that make the review process as efficient as possible - while ensuring that no relevant evidence is overlooked.



Building upon the source code evidence, our consulting experts work closely with expert witnesses and litigators to supplement patent infringement contentions, prepare exhibits for expert reports and refine technical arguments for depositions and trial.We have leveraged our source code review capabilities to help clients achieve success in several high-tech cases covering:
