EnCEP Name and Logo Awarded U.S. Trademark

Jessica Bair In September 2009, Guidance Software announced the EnCase Certified eDiscovery Practitioner (EnCEP) program, creating the first e-discovery certification testing program. The EnCEP® program certifies private and public sector professionals in the use of the EnCase® eDiscovery software, as well as their proficiency in e-discovery planning, project management and best practices.

On March 29, 2011, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office registered, as a certification trademark, the Guidance Software EnCEP® name and logo.

The mark certifies that “the electronic discovery services are provided by a person who has been trained in EnCase® eDiscovery software and has passed the examination and application standards which indicates the person has the skill and knowledge to provide the services.”

EnCase® eDiscovery is the leading e-discovery solution for the search, collection, preservation, and processing of electronically stored information (ESI). Earning the EnCEP® certification signifies that a practitioner is skilled in the application of the solution, to manage and successfully complete all sizes of e-discovery matters in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The EnCase® Certified eDiscovery Practitioner program was created with the input of industry experts, to meet the needs of our EnCase® eDiscovery users who are handling electronic evidence in both routine and some of the largest and most complex litigations of our day. Candidates who complete the EnCEP® program, and earn the designation, will have demonstrated their expertise in the leading edge EnCase® technology and methodology for the collection and processing of electronically stored information.

Over the past decade, Guidance Software has certified more than 3,000 computer investigative professionals with the globally recognized EnCase® Certified Examiner (EnCE) designation. The EnCEP® program similarly enables e-discovery practitioners to demonstrate their skills, training and experience in the proper handling of ESI for legal purposes.
