Computer Code And Source Code Copyright Disputes: Intellectual Property Attorneys

Computer code cases are a very specific type of intellectual property. Assembly code, high-level source code and algorithm design can take a long time to develop and much less time to steal.

An algorithm has an underlying source code, which is a valuable recipe that an entire business can be built upon. Proving that a competitor or other entity has misappropriated a source code is intellectual property litigation of a very complex nature, and software plagiarism is hard to prove.

Magleby Cataxinos & Greenwood, has computer experts, forensic engineers and other specialists who can analyze the code and its underlying algorithm as well as the documents and procedures used during the code development. Attorney Parrish has an M.B.A. from the University of Utah and worked in the computer software industry writing source code prior to studying law. Our trial lawyers understand computer code and know how to make a compelling case that a judge or jury will understand.
