Automated litigation discovery method and system

摘要

An automated litigation discovery method and system are described. Data having a number of files is electronically gathered from different sources. The gathered data is automatically processed using a processor. The processor identifies software application files and compares the software application files to a database having a number of pre-existing files. If the software application file matches a pre-existing file in the database, then the software application file is removed. Also, the processor identifies and marks the duplicate files. The processed data is transmitted to a reviewer. The reviewer reviews the processed data.
