Database Right Directive

The Database Right Directive is a legal framework within the European Union designed to protect the investment made in creating and maintaining databases. It grants rights to database creators, allowing them to control how their data is used and prevent unauthorized extraction or reuse of substantial parts of their databases. This right encourages innovation and investment in data collection by ensuring that those who compile and organize data can benefit from their efforts, fostering a fair market for data use while balancing access for others.
