Why Location Matters: Legal Issues of GPS, Navigation Systems and Other Location-Based Services-A Webcast

This from reader Kevin Pomfret...

"The legal community has been unable to keep pace with the rapid changes in geospatial technology and location-based applications.  As a result, the American Law Institute and the American Bar Association are holding a webcast and telephone seminar on November 5, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. E.S.T on the unique legal issues associated with spatial data. The cost is $169.00 to attend.

The program, entitled “Why Location Matters: Legal Issues of GPS, Navigation Systems and Other Location-Based Services” is believed to be the first program hosted by the American Bar Association to focus exclusively on Spatial Law matters."

Kevin Pomfret of Cantor Arkema, P.C. and Dan Connors of GeoEye will be the speakers.   The program will focus on matters such as protecting intellectual property rights in spatial data, limiting liability exposure and U.S. and international laws related to privacy and national security."
