Understanding Software Intellectual Property (4.5 California MCLE Credit Hours)

Zeidman Consulting is approved MCLE Provider #14630.

Course Abstract: Software copyright infringement and trade secret theft are problems of growing concern in industry. These kinds of intellectual property theft may be purposeful when performed to gain an unfair advantage over a competitor, or they may be unintended as in the case of a programmer that takes code from one project and uses it in another project without first obtaining the appropriate rights. In all cases, a formal methodology is required and a standard, quantitative measure is needed to be able to effectively compare source code from different sources to determine whether trade secret theft or copyright infringement has occurred. Just as important, legal and technical definitions are needed. This seminar will define important terms from a technical perspective and a legal perspective so that litigation involving software intellectual property is less a battle of experts and more a quantitative comparison of repeatable results. The seminar will examine various measures of software correlation and various tools for detecting IP infringement.
