Data is fast becoming one of the hottest topics in university licensing — particularly with AI-related innovations and other research projects that rely on huge data sets. Universities — especially those with affiliated health systems — are putting skin in the game, but there are big issues with the legalities of using even blinded clinical data, images, and health records.

With a myriad of laws relating to consent and privacy to be navigated, as well as issues related to the rights of the licensee, how royalties are distributed, and more, we’ve secured two data licensing and privacy experts to lead this urgent program.

Please join Rubén Flores-Saaib, Associate Director of Licensing for USC Stevens Center for Innovation, and attorney and certified privacy practitioner James Casey, Esq., for this one-hour workshop.
