Press Release Body: Protecode Joins Eclipse Foundation

-- Protecoding to debut at EclipseCon --

Ottawa, ON, March 5, 2008, Protecode(R) Inc., the innovator of protecoding and
Intellectual Property (IP) management solutions, today 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 the first preventative intellectual property management
solution at the upcoming EclipseCon 2008 event on March 17 in Santa Clara,
California. The solution will mark a major innovation in the world of software
development. The world will be introduced to "protecoding", a methodology to ensure
software pedigree tracking.

"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."
