Ley 11.723, art. 10, quotation exception
Ley 11.723, Régimen Legal de la Propiedad Intelectual, art. 10
A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.
In force since 30 September 1933.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 5 September 2026.
What it requires
- Limit a quotation from a literary or scientific work, made for didactic or scientific commentary, criticism, or notes, to one thousand words or eight musical measures, and to only the portions indispensable for that purpose.
- Argentina has no text-and-data-mining exception, so a use of scraped copyrighted text beyond the quotation exception has no separate statutory ground here.
What this law does

Article 10 lets anyone publish, for didactic or scientific purposes, commentary, criticism, or notes on intellectual works, including up to one thousand words of a literary or scientific work, or eight musical measures, and only the indispensable portions of the text for that purpose; the same provision reaches teaching works, collections, anthologies, and similar compilations.
Article 1 protects, among literary and scientific works, source and object computer programs and data compilations, so Argentina protects a compilation as a copyright work rather than through a separate sui generis database right, subject to the same originality standard as any other work. Article 1 also states that copyright protection reaches the expression of ideas, procedures, operating methods, and mathematical concepts but not those ideas, procedures, methods, and concepts themselves.
Argentina has not enacted a text-and-data-mining exception, so training a model on scraped copyrighted text rests only on the general quotation exception if it can be characterized as didactic or scientific commentary within the one-thousand-word or eight-measure limits.
