Case Study: High-Stakes Litigation Involving Smart Car Intellectual Property
A smart car startup was being sued for theft of intellectual property (IP) by the executive team’s previous employers. Every device in the organization needed to be collected and analyzed to determine which machines and custodians (if any) had access to the IP in question. Kroll investigators:
- Forensically imaged 230 hard drives beginning on a Friday night and ending Sunday morning
- Extracted from all devices and deduplicated over 10 TB of data down to approximately 2 TB
- Structured analytics operations, such as email threading, and conceptual analytics indexes were utilized to document clustering and concept searching
Case Study: Litigation Support for the FTC
Kroll provided expert support to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) trial counsel in FTC v. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, et al. (2:13-CV-01887-ES-JAD) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
- Over 100,000 documents in the discovery set
- Two Kroll experts working separately developed opinion reports and supported the FTC trial team for over a year
- Trial counsel characterized expert witness work as among the most complex presented to any expert by the Commission
