调查知识产权的泄漏情况

一所研究精密科学的私立学校与CleverControl联系，提出了一个微妙的要求。该学校遵循最新的趋势，在教学中实施最新的创新。数学方面的独特课程是他们特别自豪的主题。该课程包括一套完整的理论材料、练习、游戏和基于创新方法的每个年级的测试。这是两位教师长期工作的成果，很快就会成为数学高级研究学校的教科书。在此之前，其他教职员工不允许在校外分享这些材料或在私人辅导中使用这些材料。

However, when the headmaster talked to her colleagues from other schools, she learned that some were already using materials developed in her school. Those teachers refused to tell where they had got them, but one thing was clear: the unique program had leaked. The headmaster needed to identify the source of the leak and prevent further unauthorized sharing.

The teachers downloaded the educational materials from the school's secure server to their classroom computers. The headmaster assumed that the source of the leak either copied the data to an external storage device or sent it out by email. After proper authorization and employee notice, the school's IT specialist installed CleverControl on authorized school computers to review activity related to these channels.

The headmaster and the IT specialist checked reports from each computer daily but did not find any suspicious activity. Most probably, the mole had copied all the materials before the program was installed. To determine whether the leak was ongoing, the headmaster asked the authors to add some new educational materials to the school server and continued the authorized monitoring with CleverControl. That brought results: logs from one of the new substitute teacher's computer showed that an external storage device was plugged in. To be sure, the headmaster also checked screen recordings for that period of time, which confirmed the fact of copying the materials. A further internal investigation revealed that the new substitute teacher had shared the educational materials with a friend from another school. The friend then shared them with her colleagues. Besides, the substitute teacher did private tutoring using the stolen materials.

The school took appropriate internal action according to its policies.
