AgTech and the Law of Farm Data

 

Description:

 

As agriculture becomes more and more a technology enabled business, farmers and those who serve agricultural markets must deal with legal issues around intellectual property and data ownership.  Today’s farmer typically will contract with many agriculture technology providers who will necessarily gather valuable farm data in the course of their work. Questions arise as to ownership. Privacy and security and while standards are being developed, the area is largely unregulated and reliant on traditional notions of IP and trade secret law. This program will describe the issues and the rules and standards that are developing in the area.
