Attorneys working in software-related litigation (such as patent, copyright, and trade secret cases) often agree to protective order (PO) restrictions on source code access, without thinking through the implications for how the source code will be examined by experts and consultants. Certain common PO restrictions may dramatically increase source-code examination time and expense, or in some instances even possibly affect its thoroughness. (For background on computer software source code, see article here.) As a simple example, consider a software copyright case, in which source code from the

Common claim chart problems in patent litigation
Claim charts (infringement contentions [ICs], invalidity contentions, etc.) are required in patent litigation under the Local Patent Rules (LPRs) adapted in most federal district courts. The rules require something that doesn’t just look like a chart with claims in it. The chart is supposed to provide adequate notice of the party’s theory of infringement or invalidity, with granularity at the level of the elements or steps that make up each claim. “A chart identifying specifically where each limitation of each asserted claim is found within each Accused Instrumentality…” is a typical LPR req

While electronic discovery (e-discovery) focuses largely on data stored in or generated by computers, there is an additional area whose handling is becoming an essential e-discovery skill: code, that is, the software which computers run in order to create and process data. This article quickly compares and contrasts source code (the most readable type of software evidence) with e-discovery generally, noting cases the reader may consult for more details (most are federal patent cases; some are cited for fact patterns rather than for the central holding in the case).

Source code examination for litigation: a few basics and FAQs
Source-code examination is not like searching any other form of text. Computer source code conforms to rules. These rules are dictated by programming languages, platforms (such as Android, Windows, or the Apple iOS and OSX operating systems), APIs (application programming interfaces), and other constraints (e.g. interoperability with other software and with devices). In addition, there is typically too much code to read all of it, and much depends on the proper selection of areas requiring close reading. These two attributes of source code — its structured nature, combined with its typically
