Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering is a process by which a completed product is deconstructed into its basic components to discover details of its design and composition. This knowledge is often necessary to prove infringement in patent litigation, and may be a useful tool for failure analysis. Exponent offers expertise in reverse engineering products across several fields including:
Exponent’s consultants are highly trained in the use of equipment and methods that lend themselves to reverse engineering such as:
- Circuit tracing
- Destructive analysis and cross-sectioning
- Logic design schematic tracing
- Optical microscopy
- Scanning electron microscopy
- Transmission electron microscopy
- X-ray and CT scanning
- Chemical analysis
- Software disassembly
