As a key component of our
suite of discovery solutions, Iron
Mountain’s IP Litigation
Discovery Escrow Service facilitates the secure gathering and examination of
evidence during intellectual property lawsuits, including patent infringement cases
During the discovery
phase of litigation, there is an inherent conflict of interest between parties.
Defendants must satisfy the discovery requirements of the court, while
simultaneously protecting their intellectual property. For plaintiffs, it’s
essential that their attorneys and experts gain access to the information
necessary to prepare for trial. Our expertise empowers organizations to comply
efficiently with discovery provisions related to intellectual property
litigation, while simultaneously reducing associated costs, response times and
risk of potential exposure.
