This is a much maligned area of
engineering that can yield huge benefits if used properly.
The "Good" uses of Reverse
Engineering:
Determining patent infringement
Ensuring products are built with the
specifications you requested
Investigating technology level and
competence before a merger or aquisition
Gaining general knowledge of
standard industry practices
Finding out what suppliers a
competitor uses
The "Shady" uses of Reverse
Engineering
Copying products
Purposely infringing patents
We perform reverse engineering
services and have the capability to reverse engineer and portions of a
product, right up to providing full annotated schematics for an entire
design. In some cases we can also provide information on ASIC, software,
mechanical and other custom components.
