Saudi ArabiaCopyright Law, database compilations and absence of a sui generis right
Royal Decree No. M/41, Art. 3(5) database compilations, no sui generis right (2 Rajab 1424H, )
A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
What it requires
- Do not assume a merely comprehensive, non-creatively-arranged Saudi database is protected; only a database that is creative as to the selection or arrangement of its contents is a protected derived work under the Copyright Law, and only that creative selection or arrangement, not the underlying data, is protected.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Article 3(5) protects a database, whether mechanically readable or readable in any other manner, as a derived work only where it is creative as to the selection or arrangement of its contents, the same creativity-based standard the article applies to encyclopedias, anthologies, and folklore compilations. The Copyright Law published in the Official Gazette on replaces this Law under its Article 59.
