Scheduling successful intellectual property (IP) depositions in Asia requires proper planning and the selection of an experienced court reporting vendor.
When looking for the right vendor to handle your IP depositions in Asia, Europe and the U.S., there are several key questions to ask before retaining their services:
- What experience does the vendor have in terms of handling intellectual property depositions in Asia, as well as Europe and the U.S.?
- Is your court reporting vendor available 24/7 to immediately respond to your needs throughout the discovery process? This means being available while the deposition is taking place in Asia, for example, Japan, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong or Guam; Europe, Helsinki, Zurich, Paris or London; or anywhere in the United States. This type of availability ensures all of your local needs are met, including:
- Local printing and binding of exhibits
- Immediate handling of last-minute changes to the deposition schedule
- Hotel and conference room reservations, including breakout and war rooms
- Catering and car service
- Technology needs, including realtime, streaming realtime, mobile videoconferencing, paperless deposition exhibits, equipment rental, etc.
Having selected one experienced vendor who can handle every aspect of your intellectual property depositions, all transcripts, exhibits and related files for the entire case are securely stored and available in one place for access whenever and wherever you need them.
There are many moving pieces to the discovery process. Selecting a trusted vendor who can do all the heavy lifting and put all the pieces together will save you countless hours of effort and concern, allowing you to concentrate on the details of your case.
