What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 54 gives a database producer who confirms a substantial qualitative or quantitative investment in obtaining, verifying, or presenting the database's contents an exclusive right to prevent extraction or re-use of the whole content or a qualitatively or quantitatively significant part of it. That right runs for 15 years from the database's making, or from first lawful publication or communication to the public within that term.
Repeated or systematic extraction or re-use of insignificant parts is also prohibited where it conflicts with the database's normal exploitation or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests. This sui generis right is independent of copyright in the database's contents.
This chapter was added to the Act by Law No. 1585 of 3 June 2005 (Legislative Herald of Georgia, No. 31, 27 June 2005); the amending law's own commencement date is not stated in the provisions read, so the day this specific right took effect is not established here, though the right is presently in force.
