Clinical Projects

Clinic Director Deirdre Mulligan, Nathan Good, David Molnar, Elizabeth Miles, Laura Quilter, USC Professor Jennifer Urban, and Berkeley Professor David Wagner presented “Radio Frequency ID and Privacy with Information Goods” at the 2004 Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society. The paper addresses privacy impacts of using radio frequency identification (RFID) to tag goods such books and music. Consumers have certain privacy expectations when it comes to purchasing or browsing information goods, and using RFID tags can create personal privacy risks.

Clinic intern Nicole Ozer contributed to a memo which employed a human rights model as a tool for policy development. The memo also provided practical advice on importing and distributing affordable ARVs in compliance with international intellectual property agreements such as the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs) to advocate that the Sri Lankan government provide treatment to HIV infected individuals.
