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
