Decreto Legislativo 822, protection of compilations and databases
Decreto Legislativo 822 arts. 5(l) and 48 (protection of compilations and databases), Ley sobre el Derecho de Autor, as consolidated to Decreto Legislativo 1391 (2018)
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 since 24 May 1996.
A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 5 September 2026.
What it requires
- A database or compilation is protected only where its selection, coordination, or arrangement is original; a non-original collection of data or facts is not protected as such.
- Do not rely on the personal-use copying privilege to justify copying a database or compilation of data; that privilege does not reach it.

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 5(l) protects an anthology or compilation of works or expressions of folklore, and a database, as a protected work only where the collection is original in the selection, coordination, or arrangement of its contents, so Peru confers no sui generis database right and protects a database only under ordinary copyright's originality standard.
Article 48 permits copying a published sound or audiovisual recording for exclusively personal use, but expressly excludes a database or compilation of data from that personal-use privilege.
