Innovation is the engine which drives progress in the technology market. Complex patent systems 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 wilful 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 ensure that this rightful access does not lead to unauthorised 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.
