Additional Article 8, added to the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works by Law No. 5101 and in force since 12 September 2004, gives the producer of a database who makes a substantial investment, qualitatively or quantitatively, in creating, verifying, or presenting its content the exclusive right to permit or prohibit the permanent or temporary transfer of a substantial part or all of that content to another medium by any means, and its distribution, sale, rental, or communication to the public by any means, subject to the exceptions the Law lists and to exceptions required for public security or administrative or judicial proceedings.
Protection runs for fifteen years from the date the database is disclosed, and a substantial new investment that brings about a substantial qualitative or quantitative change in the database's content earns its own fifteen-year term.
