Legal protection of databases in the European Union and the United States of America
Andrejaš, Michaela ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Císařová, Zuzana (referee)
This Paper presents a comparative analysis of legal protection of databases in USA and EU. EU, with the intention to strengthen it's postition in the world database industry, introduced by a Directive 96/9/EC a legal experiment of sui generis right to databases, protecting databases on the basis of an investment only, regardless of the coypright law requirement of originality. USA does not offer the Directive's sui generis right, however protects the databases by whole range of traditional means of legal protection. On the basis of the comparative analysis of the traditional and present legal protection of databases in the EU and USA, as well as a critical assessment of the Directive and it's impact on the EU database industry, the Author rebuts the U.S. sui generis right proponents' arguments and proves her initial hypothesis that USA does not lack sui generis right protection, nor does it have a single reason to introduce this legal experiment into it's well established and working legal system.
