Law 155(I)/2022, which its preamble states harmonises Cyprus law with EU Directive 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market, inserted new articles 24 and 25 into Cyprus's Intellectual Property Rights and Related Rights Law. Article 24 exempts reproduction and extraction by research organisations and cultural heritage institutions for scientific text-and-data mining.
Article 25 gives a general exception for reproduction and extraction of lawfully accessible works for text-and-data mining. That exception applies only where the rightholder has not expressly reserved the use in an appropriate manner, such as machine-readable means, for content made available online.
