Tools and Services for Managing Software Intellectual Property

Is specialized software a significant part of your operations, products and services? Is your software developed internally or by contractors? Do you use Open Source Software or third party commercial software? Do you have an understanding of the code content within your organization as well as its copyright and/or licensing requirements?

Protecode Inc. produces products and services for managing software Intellectual Property and for carrying out due diligence of a company’s software pedigree.

How Protecode Can Help Your Software IP Management

	Protecode products address all aspects of Software IP Management – from the establishment of organizational IP policies and its administration in various projects, to enterprise code mapping and assessment, the pedigree audit of each software load build and the preventive development of software free of potential encumbrances of licensing obligations. Whatever your need or circumstance, you will find a Protecode solution applicable if your company develops software.
	Protecode solutions are easy to adopt, require no training, work seamlessly in a developers work environment and most importantly do not disrupt the development process. Protecode solutions are reliable, confidential and secure and can be used by single developers or by multi-party teams in different jurisdictions.
	Most importantly, Protecode products and services do not require major investments and are highly affordable for small companies, or large multi-site enterprises with full central management and reporting capability, as either licensed tools or subscription services.

A Protecode Pedigree Report, created through the deployment of a Protecode product or service tells a fascinating story of exactly where each piece of code within your organization came from, who put it together, in which organization, who owns the copyright, who owns the license, what is the export control rating, when it was first written, and how many times it has been updated.
