Summary
One of the most controversial acts of EU harmonization in the field of copyright law, and one of the first copyright directives, was without doubt Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases.1 Many of its definitions, the narrow scope of its exceptions and the lack of coordination with general copyright law have been heavily criticized. Yet, the most challenged and discussed provision was and remains its Article 7, which introduced as a worldwide novelty the so-called sui generis right.
