Anyone that's ever been involved in a lawsuit dreads the
discovery process. In the United States, litigating parties
typically must produce all relevant information that they possess
or control to the other side—known as producing
discovery—which can be very expensive and time consuming.
As little as 20 years ago, paper documents made up the bulk of
the discovery documents that each side produced. Today, the amount
of electronic documents available for production, from emails to
PDFs to spreadsheets—known as eDiscovery—is many times
greater than the paper documents of the past. In this article,
Finnegan attorneys
Kenie Ho and
Linda L. Vu discuss the impact that the Internet of Things
(IoT) will have on eDiscovery.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
