There's a firm that's associated with the academic firm, turnitin.com
http://www.ithenticate.com
Quote from webpage:
The Internet, though an invaluable resource for services and
information, is also an unparalleled environment for all varieties of
intellectual property theft. iThenticate™ is a revolutionary new
system that combats the piracy of intellectual property and ensures
the originality of written work for publishers, news agencies,
corporations, law firms, and non-profit entities.
Sounds like the answer to me.

Subject: Plagiarism? How to identify?
Dave,
I have an interesting situation that I think the combined resources
of IP could help.
I've just received a consultant's report on Virtual Private
Networks that, based on previous experience, I believe has been by
and large taken wholesale from another source, perhaps a book on
the subject.
I cannot find the source on the Web using Google (a technique that
worked very well on a previous report). This could possblly have
been lifted from the ACM digital bookshelf or the IEEE equivalent,
but there's no search tool for them. Does anyone know of a
"plagiarism server" that would help identify this piece or clear
it? Alternatively, I'd be willing to send a sanitized copy of the
report to any IPer who knows this literature well and is intrigued
by the question.
'm sure that this question comes up from time to time, perhaps
often, in a publications environment. How have others handled this
question?
