How copyright can protect the value of your data

The forgotten shield for your valuable data

COVID-19 has accelerated the shift to digital, generating increasingly large volumes of data and, in turn, opening up opportunities for creating and protecting value.

With ever-advancing technology, it is also increasingly easy for competitors and bad actors to access your commercial data and exploit it for their own gain.

While you can impose confidentiality obligations and contractual restrictions, do not overlook copyright as another potentially effective tool in your armoury to preserve the commercial value of your datasets.
