Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 44 permits quoting from a lawfully disclosed work without the author's consent or payment, provided the author's name and the source are stated and the quotation follows proper practice and does not exceed what its purpose justifies. The provision is a general quotation exception rather than a text-and-data-mining exception, and Peru has not enacted a distinct exception for automated extraction or analysis of a work's text or data.

This consolidated WIPO Lex text is current to Decreto Legislativo 1391 (2018), whose amendments reach other articles of the statute and not article 44; WIPO Lex flags a further consolidated version as available that is not reproduced here.
