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 10, point 16, added by the Loi du 1er avril 2022 transposing the Digital Single Market Directive, permits reproductions and extractions of lawfully accessible works for text and data mining without the rightholder's authorization, unless the rightholder has expressly and appropriately reserved that use, including by machine-readable means for content made available online.

Article 10, point 15 gives research organizations and publicly accessible libraries, museums, archives and film or sound heritage institutions the same permission for scientific research text and data mining, without being subject to that reservation. The statute defines text and data mining as any automated analytical technique to analyze text and data in digital form in order to generate information such as patterns, trends and correlations.

The amending law's own text does not state a specific entry-into-force day for these provisions beyond the Journal officiel publication mechanism.
