November, 2020. Our pro-bono client, Zerobase Foundation, is launching their anonymous QR-code based COVID-19 infection tracing platform. We advised Zerobase regarding Intellectual Property, including licensing and branding. The nonprofit Zerobase Foundation is working with the government of Costa Rica to deploy an anonymous, QR code-based contact tracing platform to help contain the spread of Covid-19. The Zerobase technology combines privacy-preserving data security techniques with artificial intelligence algorithms to predict which individuals are at the highest risk of infection. Such an individual may then be asked to get tested or to quarantine while asymptomatic in order to prevent further spread – all without needing to know their name. The Zerobase Foundation will implement their solution starting with officials serving the federal government of Costa Rica before expanding to a broader population.
