Protecode announced that they have joined the Eclipse Foundation, a not-for-profit, open source community, whose projects are focused on building an open development platform that helps cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products and services.

Protecode will launch its preventative intellectual property management solution; this solution will mark an innovation in the world of software development.

"The Eclipse open development platform is perfectly suited to leverage the industry's first proactive solution to dealing with their intellectual property," said Mahshad Koohgoli, CEO of Protecode.  "We expect to change the way developers track, monitor and log content in software.  This is critical in open source environments where code pedigree has a direct impact on intellectual property ownership, and is especially well suited for software quality demands that are paramount to the Eclipse community."

"Whenever members use our conferences to launch new innovative technology, it helps us draw more attention to Eclipse," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of Eclipse Foundation. "Protecode's new product announcement is an important addition to the Eclipse ecosystem."
