INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INVESTIGATIONS has become a little
bit easier for Electronic Evidence Retrieval, L. L. C. (EER)
this year. The company’s recent surge of Intellectual Property
cases caused company President Dr. Johnette Hassell to examine
tools that would enable her team to more rapidly and comprehensively
complete multi-language intellectual property investigations.
As a result of a rigorous inspection of a variety of tools,
EER selected Surveyor, Lexient's powerful language and platform
independent code analyzer. Surveyor's core utility enables investigators
to rapidly analyze and understand the business rules, logic
flow, and architecture present in a body of source code. Typically,
Surveyor is used by corporate development teams interested in
understanding the impact of source code revisions, mapping application
architecture, and thoroughly documenting code.
EER's requirements for an analysis tool were similar in nature.
However, since expert witness testimony is often presented to
a non-technical audience, Surveyor's ability to create highly
visual, easy to comprehend maps and models of source code interactions
made it the ideal choice for EER. "Our technicians can
quickly create maps of the architecture for two separate applications
that can be presented in the courtroom side-by-side to illustrate
their similarity - a powerful tool for our clients." said
Dr. Hassell.
With support for most of the currently popular source code
languages, many legacy languages, and the ability to analyze
code from the perspective of over 25 different compilers and
targets, Surveyor presents EER with a formidable tool for IP
investigations.
