Fearing eDiscovery In The IoT Age? Let's Keep Things In Proportion

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.

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.
