JERICHO, NY, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Christopher Furlough leads software and firmware technical services at Ocean Tomo, part of JS Held.

Global consulting firm JS Held, proudly celebrating its 50th anniversary, welcomes the software and firmware expert Christopher Furlough at Ocean Tomo, part of JS Held. He belongs to one specialized technical team , which combines technical expertise, patent expertise and business acumen to explore complex systems as a partner to in-house intellectual property (IP) groups, outside counsel and financial institutions. “Christopher Furlough’s more than 30 years of experience in embedded firmware extraction and analysis, software code analysis, encoding and processing firmware extraction and analysis, system and application software analysis, and enterprise data flow analysis in a variety of programming languages ​​is in high demand among our leading global technology companies,” said Chris Wichser, senior managing director who leads the company’s specialist technical services experts, at IPBC Europe 2024 in Munich.

Christopher Furlough’s experience with software applications, including processor security, operating systems, networking, user interfaces and device drivers, across a variety of products and software has resulted in a deep technical understanding. Chris Wichser adds: “Its ability to understand and analyze devices and systems requires a systems-level approach, where hardware analysis (e.g. circuit or process analysis) complements system-level analysis, e.g. B. Functional testing, firmware analysis and software analysis.” Chris Wichser continued: “Christopher understands how hardware and firmware/software work together to achieve the desired functions or tasks, which is an important prerequisite to the value of the intellectual property in the systems.”

“Determining proof of use (EoU) for patented technologies can be complicated and potentially costly,” explains Christopher Furlough. “This is especially true when you consider how deeply patented features are embedded in products and methods. Accessing information regarding these functionalities is often difficult and requires specialized techniques and tools,” he adds. In his paper Software and Firmware Analysis, Reverse Engineering & Testing for Establishing Evidence of Use or Non-Use, Software/Firmware Development and Reverse Engineering Expert Christopher Furlough examines three main approaches commonly used when searching for EoU:

Analysis of publicly available information Device, system and application testing Reverse engineering

The path to uncovering EoU for patented technologies begins with assembling the required expertise, including IP, testing and/or RE, as well as technical expertise in the technology of interest. This multifaceted approach combines analysis of publicly available data, rigorous testing and sophisticated reverse engineering techniques, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the patented functions and their implementation in products and methods.

Through the IEEE and IEEE-CS, Christopher is committed to educating the next generation of software and firmware professionals and promoting a better understanding of how hardware and firmware/software work together to accomplish desired functions or tasks, which is an important A prerequisite for unlocking the value of intellectual property in systems (including embedded systems) is.
