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.
