About this title

Synopsis:

Highlights the practical issues surrounding the legal protection of databases, explains the "database right" and assesses the impact that 1998 database law will have on anyone seeking to protect, develop and exploit their own databases or licence, challenge or acquire rights over others. The text aims to answer questions such as: why are the regulations of such economic significance? What is the new definition of a database? How will a database qualify for copyright protection? What issues are relevant to a proposed acquirer of a database? How do the UK regulations fit into the overall structure of international protection for the purpose of putting together global deals? And how do you sue for infringement where necessary? "Database Law" also contains the full text of the Copyright and Rights in Database Regulations, annotated excerpts from the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act as Amended by the Regulations and a flowchart.
