Buongiorno,

Più che crisi di nervi mi sembra una rivendicazione scontata.
Il dibattito sulla data exclusivity riguardanti i trials è in corso da anni.
Noi come AISA abbiamo iniziato a parlarne qui:
https://aisa.sp.unipi.it/attivita/vi-convegno-annuale/vi-convegno-annuale-programma/

Si tratta di una delle tante forme di pseudo-proprietà intellettuale sui
dati:

A presto,
