CASE WESTERN RESERVE LAW — Case Western Reserve University School of Law is proud to announce the formation of the first-ever Athlete Data Lab in partnership with alumni-founded Sports Data Labs, Inc. (SD Labs). The newly-created lab will aim to bring clarity to the global complexities associated with the collection, processing, and monetization of an athlete’s personal data, which includes health data, biomechanical movement data, mobility data, medical record data and other personal information. The lab will also aim to bring focus to critical legal issues related to the interplay between privacy and intellectual property rights, as well as issues related to the recognition of athlete data as a form of digital property, on a state-by-state basis in the U.S., as well as globally.
