(2010) "...during the five minutes it took to draft and send the email, Google’s Gmail email system automatically saved eight “snapshots” of the email and put the copies into the author’s draft email folder. No action was required by the author. It was all done by the auto-save. When Google learned that it had inadvertently produced draft versions of the email to Oracle, it requested that Oracle return all copies. Oracle complied, but filed a motion to compel production of the draft and final versions of the email. Oracle successfully convinced the district court that the email was not protected by any privilege, and the court ordered the production of all versions of the email. Google sought a writ of mandamus to have the district court’s ruling overturned, but the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied the writ." https://www.millercanfield.com/media/article/200378_MCNewsletter_E-Discovery_7.19.12.pdf https://www.millercanfield.com/media/article/200378_MCNewsle...
