Ley de Propiedad Intelectual, ausencia de excepción de minería de textos y datos
Decreto Legislativo No. 66 (2024), arts. 45 y 46
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 15 February 2025.
A copyright and text and data mining (TDM) rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 5 September 2026.
What it requires
- No text-and-data-mining exception or opt-out mechanism applies here; reproducing copyrighted content to train a model without authorization risks infringing this law unless it fits the narrower personal-use, teaching or quotation exceptions.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
The Intellectual Property Law contains no text-and-data-mining exception and no machine-readable opt-out mechanism of the kind the European Union's 2019 Digital Single Market Directive creates; no occurrence of that concept appears in the Act's text.
The closest analogues are narrower: article 45 permits, without authorization or remuneration, a single personal copy of an already-divulged work made by the user with their own means, and a reprographic copy for teaching or examinations at a non-profit educational institution, in the measure the purpose justifies and in accordance with fair practice; article 46 permits including brief fragments of a lawfully divulged protected work in another work, without remuneration or authorization, for quotation, criticism, illustration, teaching or research, provided the source, title and author are named.
Neither exception is scoped to, or large enough to cover, systematic reproduction of copyrighted text for training a model.
