A database right rule binding private bodies.

Audit expectation
none

What it requires

  • A database is protected by copyright only as a compilation, where the selection or arrangement of its contents is itself the result of creative labour; scraping the contents of a database whose selection or arrangement does not meet that test does not implicate this Article.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 7 names the objects of copyright and brings compilations, databases included, within it where the selection or arrangement of the materials is the result of creative labour. It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The cited article carries no territorial clause.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 7(1) lists the categories of works that are copyright objects, and Article 7(3)(2) extends that protection to compilations, naming encyclopedias, anthologies and databases by way of example, and other compound works that represent, by the selection or arrangement of their materials, the result of creative labour; a derivative or compound work is protected regardless of whether the underlying works it is based on or includes are themselves copyright objects.

The text read confers no sui generis database right distinct from this compilation copyright, so a database whose selection or arrangement is not itself the result of creative labour falls outside Article 7 altogether. Article 7 was most recently touched by Law No. 233-VIII (), a terminology amendment on the text read. No commencement day for the Law has been located.
