Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing application programming interface (“API”) use compliance, and, in some cases, by implementing application auditing for API use compliance within virtual environments in which target APIs are executed. In some embodiments, a method might comprise identifying misuse of an application programming interface (“API”) that is used in a developer channel, by intercepting data streams between the API and one or more computing systems, parsing the intercepted data streams, and determining whether the API is use non-compliant, based at least in part on identifying use non-compliant characteristics in the parsed data streams.

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.
