Source Code Review

binary code abstract

IPriori can analyze software code to determine its functionality and compare it with patent claims, disclosure or other software. We prepare an expert report, or testify in the form of declaration, deposition or at trial. Alternately, we convey that knowledge to attorneys, the Court or other testifying experts if the situation warrants.

The code may be in any number of languages, including C, C++, X-Code, Java or assemblers.

Patent Auction Analysis
