Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Data Protection Outline Discussion Describe common data protection techniques, their benefits and shortcomings in research situations.

Your essay should include supporting explanations based on specific details in the SCENARIO (which are cumulative, so include necessary facts from previous module prompts). State assumptions or unmentioned facts as necessary, and identify the necessary facts.

Scenario

UMB files another patent application based on the improvements. (PLEASE NOTE: improvements – The professors use the models to find technical errors and improve the device. These tests, along with testing with UMB’s residents, produces valuable data and improvements. UMB files another patent application based on these improvements.)

ADDRESS IN ESSAY:

Would the inventorship be different from the previous applications because of the new data (i.e. do the original study collaborators or Medelectric have rights in the system)?

The data use agreement between UMB and Medelectric includes the following clause:

UMB is encouraged to make publicly available the results of the Project. Before UMB submits a paper or abstract for publication or otherwise intends to publicly disclose information about the results of the Project, Medelectric will have thirty (30) days from receipt to review proposed manuscripts and ten (10) days from receipt to review proposed abstracts to ensure that the Data is appropriately protected. Medelectric may request in writing that the proposed publication or other disclosure be delayed for up to thirty (30) additional days as necessary to protect proprietary information.

ADDRESS IN ESSAY:

Does the clause require that UMB share the patent application with Medelectric prior to filing (Note: patent applications claiming software generally do not include underlying data used to improve the device)? If not, do you recommend any steps to be collegial and ethical with the data providers?
