Protecode Enterprise IP Analyzer™ (EA) is a platform-independent application that analyzes and identifies all code in any directory. It compares identified IP attributes against established IP policies of the enterprise. Results are produced in customizable reports containing an IP map of all analyzed code, violations of established IP policies, licensing and copyright obligations, and a modified pedigree database for future reference or updated analysis, as well as several other IP attributes.

Protecode EA checks identified IP attributes against established IP policies of the enterprise. Upon completion, Protecode EA publishes a report containing an IP map of all analyzed code and highlights violations of established IP policies. It also creates or modifies a Pedigree database for future reference or updated analysis.

Protecode EA can be set to analyze a directory on demand, or automatically at regularly scheduled intervals.
The user inputs are:

• Identify the directory to analyze
• Establish IP Policies
  • Determine acceptable licenses, authors and organizations
  • Determine action to be taken in case of violation
• Choose report options
  • Summary or full report
  • Analyze all or only newly changed content

On completion of the analysis, Protecode EA presents an interactive report, from a simple overview to a detailed picture of each file. Various users – developers, managers, lawyers – can probe the findings to any desired detail, and annotate specific items in the report.
