Programs: IP Litigation: Practical Issues about Electronic Records, Digital Forensics and Electronic Evidence
Digital devices offer increased exchange of knowledge and communications for most sectors of our modern economies. These connected devices offer both convenience and richness in a wide range of business and personal communications. However, with these benefits, there are associated tradeoffs dealing with privacy, trustworthy communications, risks and opportunities dealing with corporate records, discovery and litigation. The talk will focus on typical and sometimes non-obvious sources of digital information, how it may be recovered, planning for both mitigation of risks in managing digital information and lastly the uses and misuses of digital forensics and electronic discovery in disputes and litigation. A short IP case is presented in order to establish some context and critical dialogue. In this manner, a non-technical perspective dealing with certain forensic concepts, guidelines and a checklist is presented for those legal and management professional interested in the uses and misuses of electronic records, digital forensics and electronic evidence. Some demonstrative exhibits will be used to make some useful points and stimulate the exchange of ideas. Presenter:

He has served as a special master in dealing with intellectual property matters and allegations of spoliation. He is retired from the University of Texas – School of Business where he last served as Chief Technology Officer for the Business School. Welcome to the Jungle: Navigating the eDiscovery Landscape Feeling the information overload? Your not alone, a recent study by the University of California at Berkeley estimated that more than 20 exabytes (20 billion gigabytes) of data has been created and that number rises every day. It is a jungle of eDiscovery. On average, an office worker in the U.S. sends and receives as many as 200 e-mail messages each day. The size of business e-mail volumes sent annually worldwide exceeded 1 exabyte for the first time in 2003, an increase of 41% from 2002. The number of person-to-person e-mails sent annually worldwide is estimated to have been 7.8 trillion in 2004 and projected to reach 10.4 trillion in 2008. (IDC, August 2004). That is a lot of email, and email is becoming the cornerstone of documents produced in litigation. It is not longer economical, or even possible, to print to paper or even review electronically all that email (and other electronic documents). We are being challenged as an industry to find faster, accurate more efficient ways to get through all that information. This presentation will show you current technology to help us navigate the eDiscovery landscape as well as predict the future of where intelligent technology is headed and how the you can and will play a vital role in that future.
