The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) Open Source, Software Related Inventions, and Trade Secrets Committees will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "IP Protection for Data" on October 23, 2019, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Brian Adams of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Ken Corsello of IBM, and Sameer Vadera of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP will address the different ways that data and databases are protected under U.S. law, including the benefits and disadvantages of different IP frameworks such as copyright and trade secrets, and contrast them with data protection laws outside the U.S. The panel will also discuss the use of contracts to protect data and recent court decisions explaining the scope of IP protection for data and databases. The future of data will also be discussed, including the open data movement, in which advocates promote the application of open source software principles to the collection and distribution of data.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (IPO member) or $150 (non-member) (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
