Electronic discovery can not be made as simple and inexpensive as pre-electronic paper discovery because: (1) the integrity of an e-record is dependent upon the integrity of its ERMS, but the integrity of a pre-electronic paper record is not affected by its records management system; (2) electronic technology has made the making of records much less expensive and time - consuming, therefore ERMSs quickly become voluminous; and, (3) every electronic communication creates

One aspect of litigation that makes patent cases so
expensive is the cost of
discovery — including the cost of finding, reviewing, and producing
electronic documents.
