Abstract:
This paper investigates different approaches to recognising Intellectual Property (IP) in medical data so as to protect efforts invested in enhancing the usability of such data through data curation. Sui generis database rights, copyrights and related rights, the legal regime of know-how all offer plausible options for protection here. In this paper, we analyse these options including by reference to a specific EC FP7 e-health research project (CHIC) and assess the prospects and potential benefits of applying them in order to protect investments made in data curation for medical research.
