Another Legal Tech New York has come and gone and while I’m tempted to let my mind go numb and try to enjoy Delta’s airing of The Social Network, my attention span for the film is equivalent to attention paid by LTNY2011 participants to legally related social media issues. So given full laptop battery and a long flight home, it’s time to put down some thoughts regarding this year’s legal technology event.

Within the realm of e-discovery, it seems clear that 2010 was the year in which preservation emerged as a top concern. We are now seeing a number of reports detailing the e-discovery-related sanctions levied in 2010, and sanctions related to a failure to preserve data make up the majority of such reports. In past years, the focus has been more on spoliation of data related to data collection, processing, culling or production issues. This year, the focus clearly shifted to [...]
Recently, Chris Wilen (@chriswilen) has been writing some excellent articles looking back on 2010 and some of the important cases that will continue to shape e-Discovery into the new year. It’s a great series and I recommend you check out all his posts and subscribe to our feed to keep up with the latest entries.
With that said, Fios has always been a forward-thinking company and we know there’s a whole host of new changes that will be impacting the e-Discovery landscape in the next 10 years. While we [...]
Reasonability, Proportionality and Sanctions: Oh My!
And now to one of the true highlights of the year…
Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Creative Pipe, Inc., No. MJG-06-2662, 2010 WL 3703696 (D. Md. Sept. 9, 2010)
For many of us, Christmas came in early September in the form of a 103-page gift from Judge Grimm. Those 103 pages included a 12-page chart breaking down e-discovery sanctions by circuit. In Victor Stanley I, we were given some useful guidance regarding search term use and refinement. In [...]
Federal Trade Commission v. Church & Dwight Co., Inc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 115205, (D.D.C. Oct. 29, 2010)
One of the e-discovery-related trends we saw take a greater hold in 2010 was the idea of proportionate responses. In 2011, I expect this trend to continue, with proportionality moving more decisively from idea to practice. Not surprisingly, many people are still waiting to see exactly how proportionality arguments can succeed. Luckily, there are some already prepared to jump in and test the [...]
The technology industry isn’t just watching an upcoming High Court ruling on patent infringement — it has actively lobbied the White House to sit this one out. At stake is how easy or hard it should be for a patent holder to prove someone else induced illegal infringement. Tech firms worry a ruling favoring a lower standard of scienter for inducement would open the door to patent trolls.

In the last year, federal district courts have rejected at least three class action settlements Ted Frank opposed through his pro bono Center for Class Action Fairness. In the latest case, his clients have no problem with the consumer class action settlement the computer company NVIDIA agreed to. They just don’t believe NVIDIA is living up to the terms of the deal or that Milberg class counsel is standing up for class members.

A New York marketing company has suffered a setback in its bid to block a former employee from what it says is a relentless campaign to disparage the business through online posts and reports to law enforcement authorities. A state judge ruled the First Amendment gave the ex-employee the right to disseminate his claims that the company had lost personal data about its customers.

After years of trying to overhaul patent law — not significantly changed since 1952 — the U.S. Senate is taking up the Patent Reform Act. The biggest change in the new bill is a transition from a first-to-invent application system to a first-to-file system, which is used by every other industrialized nation but opposed by independent inventors.

A federal judge has granted a default motion against the People’s Republic of China in a $2.2 billion copyright infringement suit by a California software firm. Solid Oak Software alleges nearly 3,000 lines of code were stolen from its CYBERsitter program — which blocks children from viewing inappropriate internet content — for use in China’s Green Dam Youth Escort software, distributed to millions.
