"Identity Preservation and
'Due Care' in the Coming Age of Traceability"
Thomas will give an overview of how compliance with identity
preservation standards translate into liability protection
when "trace-back" occurs for particular genetic
events, and discuss case studies in which companies got
it right (or failed to follow good practices and incurred
liability).
