IPX’s approach to this problem is to utilize its tools to identify areas where open source software provides an accurate, but simple quantitative assessment of the uniqueness of particular concepts. The more quantitative the approach, the more conducive it is to automation, but we want the numbers to provide real insight for making good real-time decisions.

IPX has developed software tools that assess uniqueness in IP using simple Bayesian techniques. These tools empower analysts to gain a perspective on where a particular intellectual asset fits in the universe of IP and assess the uniqueness quantitatively.

Open Source Repository

IPX has an extensive web agent infrastructure that monitors and maintains copies of hundreds of thousands of Open Source software packages. These sources are updated and indexed by the type of license to help asses the particular risks associated with each.

Open Source Detector

IPX has developed a suite of structural and content matching tools that allow it to detect IP transfer in software ranging from direct copying to very sophisticated rewriting / re-factoring. This detection software is based on IPX’s patent pending Public Key Inspection technology.

Open Source Risk Analyzer

Once IPX has detected the apparent transfer of IP from one source to another, it utilizes Bayesian analysis to determine the associated risk. This risk is based on the likelihood that IP transfer has occurred, and the impact of that transfer on the value of certain Intellectual Assets.

Once IPX has assessed the associated risks, it provides options for remediation so as to manage the risk appropriately.
