Reverse Engineering

During our childhood, we all had a habit of disassembling our toys to explore their inner workings. Back then, this curiosity often led to us getting scolded. However, this same process has now become a means to determine if a patented technology is incorporated into a product or service. This examination of the fundamental elements of technology is referred to as Reverse Engineering.

Reverse engineering involves the deconstruction of an object to analyze its design, structure, code, and constituent parts. Its purpose is to gather insights into the components utilized during the object’s creation. This method is applicable to technology, software, and even genetic material found in plants and animals.

It has the capability to help you determine whether a particular company in the industry is utilizing your patented inventions. Our team of experts in reverse engineering possesses extensive experience in various types of analysis.

• Circuit analysis involves understanding the functioning of devices, examining them from the transistor level to the interconnections and components required to create schematics and related materials.
• Process analysis investigates patented semiconductor, optical, and MEM processes, as well as packaging and layout elements, in order to ascertain the methods and components used in the construction of devices.
• System analysis entails identifying the collaborative utilization of devices, which may involve sensing, probing, data gathering, or studying signals and software within or between chips.

The outcomes of reverse engineering serve as proof of usage and can be compared to relevant patent claims to establish instances of patent infringement.
