SAFE Corporation Releases SourceDetective, Internet Search for Software Plagiarism Detection

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CUPERTINO, CA, December 3 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Software Analysis & Forensic Engineering
Corporation (www.SAFE-corp.biz), the leading provider of software tools for
detecting and measuring software intellectual property, has just released
SourceDetective(TM), a tool in its CodeSuite? set of software tools for
comparing computer code to detect plagiarism, copyright infringement, and
trade secret theft. SourceDetective helps definitively prove or disprove
copying of source code by automatically searching the Internet and
demonstrating that code elements in two different programs are unique,
rarely used, or commonplace.

SourceDetective is part of CodeSuite, which comprises CodeMatch?,
CodeDiff?, and BitMatch?. CodeMatch compares source code from two
different programs and pinpoints areas of suspected copying even when the
copied code has been significantly modified. It has been used in over two
dozen copyright infringement and trade secret lawsuits and has become a de
facto standard among IP attorneys. CodeDiff finds differences in code from
programs that are nearly identical and has been used to measure changes in
software intellectual property between versions of software programs.
BitMatch is used to compare source code to executable binary code, looking
for signs of copying. It can help determine whether a competitor has
misappropriated your code and whether litigation is necessary or useful.

According to Bob Zeidman, President of SAFE Corporation, "SourceDetective
will be very important for copyright infringement and trade secret
litigation. Previously, searches were done manually and were extremely time
consuming. Not only has SourceDetective sped up this process thousands of
times over, but it is exhaustive and generates data in a form that is
easily readable and presentable to a judge or jury."

A fully functional copy of SourceDetective is available with CodeSuite


3.0.0 and can be downloaded from the SAFE Corporation website. Licenses for
running SourceDetective are available from SAFE Corporation.
