A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
- Audit expectation
- none
What it requires
- Do not extract or re-utilise, without the database maker's authorization, the whole or a substantial part of the contents of a database whose maker made a qualitatively or quantitatively significant investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting those contents.
- A database created to systematize information that is public information under the Law on Access to Public Information does not carry this sui generis right.
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 21 protects databases by copyright where their selection or arrangement is a creative result and gives the producer of a database a sui generis right for 15 years from the start of the year after creation or publication. It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record, names no audit and has no territorial clause of its own.

What this law does
Article 21 protects a database (a compilation of data) by copyright where its selection or arrangement of contents is the result of creative activity, but that protection does not extend to or prejudice rights in the database's individual contents or in a computer program used to create or needed to operate it.
Separately, article 21(4)-(8) confers a sui generis right on the maker of a database who has made a qualitatively or quantitatively significant investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting its contents, protecting against extraction and re-utilisation of the whole or a substantial part of the database, for 15 years from completion of the database's creation (or from first publication, if that occurs within the initial term), with a fresh 15-year term for a substantial new investment in the database's contents.
A database created to systematize information that is public information under the Law on Access to Public Information is carved out of the sui generis right.
