Copyright Protection Law, No Text-and-Data-Mining Exception
Law No. 22 of 1992 on Copyright Protection, Art. 17
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.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- A quotation from a published work may be inserted into another work without the author's authorization only for illustration, explanation, argument, criticism, education, or experimentation, to the extent justified by the purpose, with the quoted work and its author's name indicated.
- Jordan's Copyright Protection Law carries no text-and-data-mining-specific exception or machine-readable opt-out, so training a model on scraped copyrighted text is not clearly authorized outside this enumerated quotation exception.
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 17(d) permits inserting quotations from a published work into another work, without the author's authorization, for the purpose of illustration, explanation, argument, criticism, education, or experimentation, provided the quotation is made to the extent justified by the purpose and the quoted work and its author are named.
The Law's exceptions, read at Article 17, are a closed, enumerated list rather than an open-ended fair-use standard, and no provision read creates a text-and-data-mining-specific exception or a machine-readable opt-out mechanism. Whether training a model on scraped copyrighted text can be characterized as "experimentation" or "education" within Article 17(d) is not addressed in the text read and has not been tested by a reported Jordanian decision.
