I chose ownership and authorship as my most important issue because it has implications on whether our data is actually our data. If the data we make on the daily is being used by people to sell or do research on and we get no profit, then this is not fair for people.
Link to Website The article I found talks about the USPTO and how patents, copyright, and trade secrets play into ownership. The copyright owner can give anyone access while retaining their ownership of data. Trade secret prohibits sharing outside the owner of data. Patent owners have to disclose their invention to receive legal protection of their data. It also talks about how intellectual properties owner by people have to be tolerated by researchers, so existing data needs to be checked by its owner before use.
