Chipworks Launches World's First Reverse Engineering eStore

OTTAWA-- October 28, 2010 --  Chipworks (www.chipworks.com), the world's leader in reverse engineering and patent infringement analysis for semiconductors and microelectronic systems, has introduced the world's first online store for purchasing reverse engineering analysis, accessed directly through www.chipworks.com.

"An online report store is a game changer for users of reverse engineering, and a door opener for those who have considered purchasing it in the past, but found it difficult to buy or too expensive for their budget," said Julia Elvidge, President of Chipworks. "Client feedback in our beta trials has been wonderful and the ROI was instantly recognized -- whether clients needed something off the virtual shelf or wanted custom analysis on a device in the report store."

Product design and development teams rely on reverse engineering to reduce the risk of development and build more competitive products. Intellectual property groups and law firms use it to find compelling evidence of patent infringement for licensing negotiations and litigations. As technologies become more integrated and shrink, the cost and complexity of this analysis has increased. The new report store addresses this challenge by delivering:

• An expanded library of analysis material -- on almost every device that hits the Chipworks labs.
• New analysis formats that offer clients the option to purchase everything from a die photo to report chapters to a full reverse engineering report.
• Electronic purchasing and delivery that is quick and easy.

The new report store also features Chipworks' extensive collection of die photos taken at both the top metal and transistor level; with new devices being added every day. With prices starting at only $200, this capability exposes the hundreds of devices that we look at every month to identify patent infringement or find technology innovation.

Clients now get the specific information they need, when they need it, helping them to defend and grow their market share and generate a higher return on their investments.
