Secure Discovery
Innovation is
the engine which drives progress in the technology market. It is our complex
patent system that protects the interests of authors and developers from the
unlawful infringement of their Intellectual Property (IP) rights. In order to
make this system work, developers must be able to defend their IP rights from
willful or unintentional breaching parties alike.
However, the
question of whether IP infringement truly exists requires exhaustive research
and discovery. So how does a party protect its vital proprietary assets while
allowing court-mandated access to their opponent? How can a company insure that
this rightful access does not lead to unauthorized access, use or public
disclosure?
By designating
NCC Group as your litigation Escrow partner, the opposing parties can balance
these competing concerns, allowing controlled access while mitigating the risk
of IP breach or loss. As part of its unique suite of solutions, NCC Group’s, Secure Discovery offers controlled environments and program management services to facilitate
the confidential review of escrowed source code.
Our proven,
flexible methodology ensures compliance with specific parameters set out in a
Protective Order (the court document defining the process of confidential
discovery review by opponents in a lawsuit). In the absence of a Protective
Order, the Secure Discovery solution supplies the framework for a confidential
review of protected material.
The Secure
Discovery solution provides two distinct services to address both the
traditional facility-based approach to litigation discovery (Secure OnSite) as well as
secure, remote electronic access (Secure
Inspection Portal). Both services are configurable in
accordance with the provisions of the Protective Order and Escrow agreement,
delivering the balance between access and control.
