Imagine that you could find and have admitted as evidence virtually any public historical web content, and without having to rely on discovery from the opposing party. Imagine that you could thereby establish when specific information was first published, updated, or available online - e.g., patent disclosures, marks and copyrighted materials, terms of service, advertised claims regarding products or services, business relationships, and more. Imagine that the maintainer of such a repository made it freely available to all and were committed to both the breadth and integrity of its contents.

In this webinar, Presenter Nicholas Taylor will:
Folks who join this webinar should come away with a better understanding of the potential of IAWM for litigation use cases, be able to use IAWM more effectively to find relevant information, be better able to interpret evidence from IAWM, and have greater success in either having evidence from IAWM admitted, or contesting its admission, in legal proceedings.
