What it requires

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 17 protects anthologies and compilations of works, data or other materials, including readable databases, that by their selection or arrangement are original creations (English as in the quoted span). It states a protection and no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The Law has no territorial clause in the article, so no hook is recorded.

What this law does
Article 17 protects, without prejudice to rights in an underlying work, anthologies or compilations of diverse works or of data or other materials, including databases in machine-readable form, where the selection or arrangement of the materials constitutes an original creation.
The article confers no sui generis right in the data or contents themselves; protection turns on the originality of the selection or arrangement, the same standard the copyright chapter applies to any other compiled work.
The Intellectual Property Law (Decreto Legislativo No. 66) replaced the 1993 Ley de Propiedad Intelectual (Decreto Legislativo No. 604, as amended) and entered into force six months after its publication in the Diario Oficial, per its own article 340 and WIPO Lex's record of that law.
