MongoliaLaw on Copyright, quotation and news free-use exceptions
In force.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
- Audit expectation
- none
What it requires
- An app training a model on, or reproducing, Mongolian copyrighted text can rely only on the Law's general free-use grounds (quoting for news, research, training, or criticism, or a library's own search database), each conditioned on naming the author and source, a non-profit purpose, a fair-use extent, and no market harm to the original work, because Mongolia has not enacted a text-and-data-mining-specific exception; a use outside those grounds needs the right holder's consent.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
In the frameworks
- NIST AI RMF
- MAP 4.1Approaches for mapping AI technology and legal risks of its components – including the use of third-party data or software – are in place, followed, and documented, as are risks of infringement of a third party’s intellectual property or other rights.
Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 38 lists uses that do not infringe the exclusive right (information, research and teaching, quotation, archives and libraries, private use, public security) on conditions in 38.2 (name the author and source, no profit, extent within the purpose, no market harm); articles 39 and 42 to 45 detail news use, archive and library copying, private partial copying and public-safety use. They condition the exception and do not require the user to keep a log or record. No territorial test is stated, so the hook is empty. Article 41.2 (an authority's request to a body holding an accessible-format copy) sits outside the cited articles.

What this law does
Article 38.1 lists limitations that are not copyright infringement provided the use does not contradict the work's normal exploitation and does not affect the rights and legal interests of the right holder, including quoting and using parts of a work to prepare a news item, quoting for research, training, or criticism, and partial use of works held in archives, museums, and libraries; Article 38.2 conditions every one of those uses on naming the author and source, a non-profit purpose, an extent that meets fair use and the purpose of the use, and no economic impact on the market for the work.
Article 42.1.4 separately lets an archive, museum, or library create an electronic database to facilitate searching and analysis of the works it holds, a narrow library-specific allowance rather than a general exception for text and data mining.
The Copyright Law creates no dedicated text-and-data-mining exception of the kind the EU or Japan carry, so training a model on scraped Mongolian copyrighted text rests only on these general free-use and fair-use grounds where the use can be characterised as research, criticism, news preparation, or library preservation. The Law's text carries no article that fixes the day it came into force, and no day on which it came into force has been located.
