Art. 140 Código Ingenios (Código Orgánico de la Economía Social de los Conocimientos, Creatividad e Innovación), materia protegible por las bases de datos
In force since .
A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
- Audit expectation
- none
What it requires
- A database's protection reaches only the originality of the selection or arrangement of its contents, not the underlying data itself, so scraping data out of a non-original or unoriginally-arranged database does not by itself infringe this article.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 140 states what a database protects: an original selection or arrangement, not the underlying data. It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record, and it carries no territorial clause. Article 141, on the use of personal and non-personal data in databases, is a separate article the row does not cite.

What this law does
Article 140 protects a compilation of data or other material, in any form, as such, only where the originality of the selection or arrangement of its contents constitutes an intellectual creation; that protection does not extend to the underlying data or information compiled, and does not affect any copyright or related right subsisting in the works or performances the compilation contains. The article also states that the protection it recognizes for databases does not apply to software.
Ecuador therefore has no sui generis database right of the European kind, protecting a producer's investment in obtaining, verifying, or presenting the contents regardless of originality; only a compilation-copyright model tied to originality of selection or arrangement.
