Abstract
Novel tools and techniques for monitoring software applications, and in particular software applications available from app stores, for apps that might infringe the intellectual property of others. Merely by way of example, a tool might identify an application in an app store, download that application, and analyze that application for content that might be infringing. Such analysis can include, but is not limited to, decompiling the application. Meta-content about the application (including portions of the content) can be compared with meta-content about other applications, to identify associations between applications. In other cases, the meta-content can be used to identify acts of intellectual property infringement.
