[Webinar] Leveraging Web & Social Evidence in Modern E-Discovery

Last Updated November 2025

Litigation no longer stops at emails and custodial data. The most revealing facts often live online — in social posts, websites, videos, and e-commerce listings that can change or disappear overnight.

In a recent webinar hosted by the Association of eDiscovery (ACEDS) and Page Vault, two leading voices in legal technology shared how their firms are tackling these challenges head-on: Shannon Bales, Senior Litigation Support Manager at Munger Tolles & Olson, and Warren Singh, Manager of Practice Support and eDiscovery at Latham & Watkins.

Together, they offered an insider look at how large law firms are building defensible, scalable programs for capturing and authenticating web and social media evidence — while balancing risk, ethics, and efficiency.

The conversation, moderated by Alex Sappington, Co-CEO of Page Vault, revealed practical insights every litigation support or eDiscovery professional can apply right now to strengthen their online evidence workflows.

When Screenshots Fail and Authentication Wins: Modern Case Law on Online Evidence found using Minerva26

Last Updated October 2025

Courts today are drawing sharper lines around how online evidence must be collected and authenticated. In disputes spanning trademark, criminal, and civil litigation, screenshots alone rarely suffice.

Adapting to USPTO Rule Changes in 2025: What Trademark Practitioners Need to Know

Last Updated October 2025

The practice of trademark prosecution has always required precision, but the changes that took effect at the USPTO in January 2025 decisively changed how that precision is measured. The retirement of the long-familiar TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard filing options, the rollout of the new Trademark Center, the introduction of significant surcharges for incomplete or inefficient applications, and the continued tightening of specimen standards together mark a new era for practitioners.

When Online Evidence Holds Up in IP Cases

Last Updated October 2025

From sneakers and coffee pods to mobile apps and even fake magazine covers, intellectual property (IP) disputes increasingly turn on what happens online. Product listings, social media promotions, and digital ads often become central to claims of trademark infringement, false advertising, or unfair competition.

IPR Just Got Stricter: What the New PTAB Rule Means—and Why Page Vault Already Has You Covered

Last Updated October 2025

On July 31, 2025, the USPTO issued a three-page memo instructing the PTAB to stop waiving and start enforcing Rule 42.104(b)(4). For petitions filed after September 1, every claim limitation must be mapped to a pinpoint location in a printed publication or patent. Anything else—including AAPA—can no longer supply a missing element (though it can still explain motivation to combine). The Office says the bright-line approach aligns PTAB practice with the Federal Circuit’s recent Shockwave decision and will cut down on remands.
