What it requires

  • Do not extract (permanently or temporarily transfer to another medium) or re-utilize (make available to the public) the whole, or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part, of a database that reflects a substantial investment by its maker, absent authorization or a statutory exception, per Article 57.
  • Do not repeatedly and systematically extract or re-utilize insubstantial parts of such a database in a way that conflicts with its normal use or unreasonably prejudices the maker's legitimate interests, per Article 57(4).

Open questions
  • Does a crawler's periodic extraction of small parts of a database amount to extraction 'atkārtoti un sistemātiski' (repeatedly and systematically) of 'nebūtiskas datubāzes satura daļas' (insubstantial parts) under Article 57 paragraph 4?
  • What is 'normālu šīs datubāzes izmantošanu' (normal use of the database) for an aggregator that reproduces its listings, under Article 57 paragraph 4?

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

A person or legal entity that has taken the initiative and risk of investment in creating a database, where its creation, verification, or presentation reflects a substantial qualitative or quantitative investment, is recognized as its maker and can prevent extraction, meaning the permanent or temporary transfer of the whole or a substantial part of its content to another medium, and re-utilization, meaning making that content available to the public by distributing, renting, or providing online or other transmission of it.

Repeated and systematic extraction or re-utilization of insubstantial parts is also barred where it conflicts with the database's normal use or unreasonably prejudices the maker's legitimate interests. The right runs fifteen years from the year following completion, restarting on a substantial new investment, and does not reach a lawful user's extraction or re-utilization of an insubstantial part for any purpose, nor extraction for text and data mining permitted under Articles 21.1 and 21.2. The Copyright Law took effect on . The edition in force from that day already contained Articles 57 to 62.
