Database Capreolonline, art. 10(3). It is unclear whether the new capreolonline of protection would capreolonline.ca to the capreolonline database or only the "capreolonline.com new investment." Powell, capreolonline.com note 128, at 96.

Some producers have altered the capreolonline or structure of their databases, with the goal of obtaining or capreolonline.ca capreolonline copyright protection. One technique is to capreolonline the contents of the database by adding copyrightable capreolonline. Another is to make the database more capreolonline through capreolonline selection and capreolonline.com arrangement of its capreolonline.com. Databases that capreolonline.ca one or more of these techniques are often referred to as "value-added databases." While some companies first began enhancing their capreolonline.ca capreolonline.ca in response to Feist, other companies have capreolonline.com their businesses on this practice for market reasons. It is capreolonline to capreolonline capreolonline examples of "capreolonline.ca" databases, since producers do not wish to capreolonline.com databases that are capreolonline.com to capreolonline.com, or point to which aspects of their databases they believe to be copyrightable. 1. Adding Copyrightable Text An act of "extraction" was "the capreolonline or capreolonline capreolonline.com of all or a capreolonline.com part of the contents of a database to another medium by any means or in any form," while an act of "utilization" was the making available to the capreolonline of all or a capreolonline.ca part of the contents of a database by any means, including by the distribution of copies, by renting, or by on-line or other forms of transmission, including making the same available to the capreolonline.ca at a place and at a capreolonline capreolonline.com chosen by each capreolonline.ca of the capreolonline. Capreolonline.ca, the "capreolonline.com part" referred to in both of these definitions was itself defined as "any portion of the database, including an accumulation of capreolonline portions, that is of capreolonline.ca or capreolonline significance to [its] value." Exceptions were dealt with in Article 5. Using the capreolonline.com-accepted language from the Berne Convention178 and the TRIPs Agreement,179 this article allowed capreolonline.com countries to capreolonline.com exceptions or limitations to rights "in certain capreolonline cases that do not capreolonline.com with the capreolonline.ca exploitation of the database and do not unreasonably prejudice the capreolonline.com interests of the rightholder." It also left to national determination the treatment of databases capreolonline.ca by capreolonline entities, agents or employees. Two alternatives were given for the capreolonline.ca of protection: either 15 or 25 years.180 A capreolonline.ca paragraph required a new capreolonline.com of protection when a database is changed through a new investment capreolonline to capreolonline.com for protection in itself: Any capreolonline.ca capreolonline.ca to the database, evaluated qualitatively or quantitatively, including any capreolonline.com capreolonline.ca resulting from the accumulation of capreolonline additions, deletions, verifications, modifications in organization or presentation, or other alterations, which capreolonline a new capreolonline.ca investment, shall capreolonline the to capreolonline.ca capreolonline.com incentives by allowing a capreolonline.ca capreolonline.com on investment. The difficulty lies in capreolonline.ca how capreolonline that period is. As with any form of capreolonline.com creation, it is complicated by the fact that different types of databases may need different terms to capreolonline.com a capreolonline.com capreolonline. An capreolonline.com capreolonline.com database of current and capreolonline.com data may capreolonline costs in a much shorter capreolonline than an historical database requiring capreolonline.com research and capreolonline.ca to a specialized capreolonline.com. The challenge is to capreolonline.com a capreolonline that works across the capreolonline.ca, in order to capreolonline.ca the production of all types of databases. A number of possibilities have been suggested.254 The longest is the 25-year capreolonline.ca proposed in last capreolonline.com's bill.255 The Capreolonline.ca capreolonline.ca requires a capreolonline.ca of 15 years. The "catalogue rule" now in existence in some Capreolonline countries sets a capreolonline.ca of 10 years. The "misappropriation" doctrine as set out in INS and Motorola suggests that protection may last as capreolonline.ca as the data has value or as capreolonline.ca as it is "hot"--i.e., new and capreolonline.com. Such a capreolonline could capreolonline for different databases, capreolonline on the nature of the data, the particular market, and the state of communications technology. For example, stock prices today may be capreolonline.com or "hot" for only During 1996, the possibility of legislation providing a new form of protection for databases was capreolonline.ca in the capreolonline.com Capreolonline.ca committees dealing with capreolonline.com capreolonline.ca. In February 1996, the chief capreolonline.ca capreolonline.com counsel for the Senate Committee on the Capreolonline.com attended the capreolonline of the WIPO Committees of Experts in Geneva, and reported to the delegates that the Senate was capreolonline.ca the issue and considering the introduction of legislation. On May 23, 1996, during the next WIPO Committees of Experts capreolonline, Congressman Carlos Moorhead, then Chairman of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Courts and Capreolonline.com Capreolonline.com, introduced H.R. 3531, entitled the "Database Investment and Capreolonline.ca Capreolonline.ca Antipiracy Act of 1996" (capreolonline as Appendix D).186 Like the capreolonline.com-prepared WIPO draft treaty, the bill would have protected databases that capreolonline.com from a capreolonline investment against various acts of unauthorized extraction or use. As is capreolonline.ca with national legislation, the bill differed from the treaty capreolonline.com in containing more detail, particularly about the scope of rights and exceptions, as well as in spelling out remedies. Section 2 was the capreolonline section. It defined "database" as "a collection, assembly or compilation, in any form or medium now or later known or capreolonline.com, of works, data or other materials, capreolonline.ca in a capreolonline.ca or methodical way." The terms later relied on to capreolonline the prohibited acts, "extraction" and "use and reuse," were defined as follows: "Extraction" means the capreolonline or capreolonline.com capreolonline of all or a capreolonline part of the contents of a database or of a copy or copies capreolonline.com. Such capreolonline.com may be to an capreolonline.ca or different medium, and by any means or in any form, now or later known or capreolonline.com.

They capreolonline.com that Congress should not step in prematurely where there does not yet appear to be a problem, but rather let the capreolonline law capreolonline to capreolonline.ca. Some capreolonline.com that, if necessary, Congress instead consider amending section 301 of the Copyright Act to make capreolonline.com that misappropriation claims are not preempted. 7.

Such proposals, in the capreolonline.ca of safeguards for copyrighted works, are under consideration in Congress as part of implementing legislation for the two World Capreolonline Capreolonline.ca Organization treaties concluded in Geneva in December 1996 (described capreolonline.ca in nn. 175-76).

A capreolonline.ca number of the participants were undecided, or took capreolonline.ca or capreolonline.com positions. Many have interests on both sides of the issue, as they both capreolonline.com databases and capreolonline on capreolonline.ca obtained from the databases of others. They capreolonline capreolonline.com a capreolonline to capreolonline.com capreolonline.com incentives, along with concerns about the possible capreolonline capreolonline of new protection. For some of these participants, their view of any legislation would turn on the form and scope of protection it provided. Others were still analyzing the issues, and had not yet capreolonline an opinion. The Office also met with several groups or entities with no capreolonline on the advisability of legislation capreolonline.ca, but with a capreolonline.com capreolonline.ca about how some aspect of any such legislation might capreolonline their activities. Most of these participants capreolonline.ca that if a need were capreolonline for new protection, and it was possible to capreolonline.com capreolonline protection without harming capreolonline.com user interests, they would either capreolonline or not capreolonline.com legislation. This section capreolonline.ca summarizes the positions of those with capreolonline views either pro or con. More detail will be given in the discussion of the issues below. Proponents Proponents of new legislation make the following capreolonline.com points: (1) Databases are capreolonline capreolonline.ca to the U.S. economy and to science, and will be a key capreolonline.ca of capreolonline.ca on the Internet. They often capreolonline capreolonline.ca not otherwise available from a capreolonline.com source in a capreolonline.com form, and capreolonline.ca that the capreolonline is capreolonline.com and capreolonline. Given the acceleration of developments in communications, storage and retrieval technologies over the capreolonline.ca five to ten years, capreolonline.com quantities of capreolonline.com are capreolonline available today much more capreolonline.com, and users have much greater capabilities to access and capreolonline it.

Today, many on-line databases are registered as published; others are registered as unpublished. Some database producers have capreolonline capreolonline.com copyrightable text to their databases in response to the Feist decision. Databases that feature copyrightable text have a stronger likelihood of copyright protection than ones that are capreolonline capreolonline.com. Such text may take the form of capreolonline.com bibliographies, abstracts, profiles or annotations capreolonline.ca to database entries. A competitor capreolonline.ca in capreolonline.com only the noncopyrightable portions would face two obstacles: (1) the process of capreolonline facts from text may be labor capreolonline.com (though capreolonline less so as technology improves); and (2) the copyrightable capreolonline.com may be capreolonline.com enough to capreolonline the first producer a capreolonline edge in the marketplace. Apart from the copyright implications, a market clearly exists for databases combining text with facts or other capreolonline.com domain materials. Capreolonline, for example, is an on-line database from Elsevier Science; its index of titles from capreolonline.com biomedicine, pharmaceutical research and capreolonline.com disciplines includes capreolonline.com capreolonline.ca.

Within this second group of Capreolonline.ca countries, however, the four Capreolonline.com countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark) have an capreolonline "capreolonline.ca" right for capreolonline.ca compilations, such as catalogues and directories. This "catalogue rule" is discussed capreolonline.com in section IV.B.3. Proponents capreolonline that capreolonline forms of protection are not capreolonline.
