In this paper we explore the existing legislation protecting the rights of database owners. We investigate both the form and the effects of such legislation in the EU and in the US. We discuss legislation that has not yet been implemented and compare it with the existing legislation that is beginning to have a track record.
These types of protection are in their infancy, and so there are a great variety of approaches to the problem, all of them largely untried and therefore, in a sense, equally valid. We make a comparison between these different approaches and express our opinion as to the approach that best encourages the creation of data while not placing undue restrictions on the scientific community.
