DAMA MN/IA June – Intellectual Primer and Relations to Data

Topic: Intellectual Primer and Relations to Data

When: Wednesday June 23rd, 2021 9:00 AM – 11: 00 AM (CDT)

Location: Remote Webex

Speaker: Susan Earley has been in data management for 35 years and is now going to law school for a Hybrid JD in Intellectual Property and Technology. Teaching lawyers about data and technology for implementing CCPA has been the most fun she’s had in years, and the laws regarding data and technology need a lot of work. She will graduate in December 2023.

Presentation Description: Intellectual property (IP) rights are rights of ownership over ideas and their implementations. There are several kinds of IP with different protections, and there are some ideas that are so common that they cannot be protected (like common math algorithms). Data is used either as the IP itself, or to record information about the IP. I believe that my personal identifying information is MY IP, so data privacy is coming into all this as well. This presentation will be a basic introduction to the different types of IP and how they are protected at the federal level.
