Recent Insights
In the world of software litigation, very few disputes are as deceptively complex as determining whether one program is “substantially similar” to another. Unlike plagiarism in prose, where copied sentences often betray the act, software is written in ways that make verbatim copying unnecessary. A developer may use different variable names, restructure functions, or change comments, while still replicating the heart of another’s work. Courts have developed the concept of substantial similarity to address these situations, looking beyond literal line-by-line matches to evaluate whether the expression of ideas in code has been misappropriated.
