Protect Your Scientific Intellectual Property: Proof of Lab Informatics Data Authenticity is Your Best Legal Defense
Sponsored by Surety, LLC

As a bio-technology or life sciences organization, your formulas, treatments and research and discoveries are the “lifeblood” of your business. But if you aren't protecting the integrity of your scientific data in your lab informatics systems, you risk losing IP ownership, revenue and consequently your business if you can't prove time-of-creation and data authenticity. Learn how you can implement simple, cost-effective and automated controls to protect your scientific intellectual property. Consider:

  • IP protection requirements in bio-pharma and other science-oriented industries can extend out 20, 30, 40 or more years
  • Most electronic lab management solutions include generic authenticity controls, so how "legally defensible" is yours?
  • Only standards-compliant, independent controls can future-proof your approach to long-term IP integrity protection and authenticity.
