Business Objective:

RainFocus, Inc and several of its employees were named as defendants in a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and several other violations regarding Intellectual Property. Mindfire was hired, as an independent, professional, non-biased entity to provide an in-depth review and comparison of the software code used by Plaintiff and RainFocus.

Challenges:

A key component to fairly resolve litigation is not only full access to information but thorough analysis and communication of findings by experts; experts who must work through complicated and complex scenarios with limited or no access to the original and subsequent creators of the subject matter. This was a primary challenge along with legal process limitations which hamper unfettered access to the software code of both Plaintiff and Defendant.

Solution:

Mindfire Technology’s experts were able to painstakingly complete a very thorough and detailed analysis notwithstanding the limitations set by the parties involved. The result was a successful forensic audit and code review culminating in meaningful comparison of the parties’ software code and the development of litigation reports which allowed the allegations of copyright and intellectual property violations to be put to rest.
