In most countries databases are covered by copyright law to some degree, as being a work that shows originality in its selection, coordination and arrangement. The lawmakers of the European Union decided that in order to provide greater protection to collections of information they should have a unified legal protection for databases. To do this they created a sui generis right called database right. It was created by Council Directive No. 96/9/EC of 11 March 1996 (Official Journal of the European Communities No. L77, 27.3.96, page 20) on the legal protection of databases. A database is an information set with a regular structure. ...

Database rights lasts for 15 years under this regime, but can be extended if the database is updated. Database right prevents copying of substantial parts of a database (including frequent extraction of insubstantial parts). However unlike copyright the protection is not over the form of expression of information but of the information itself.
In many other respects database right is similar to copyright: it is created automatically, vests in employers, does not have to be registered and is a right against use (not a monopoly).
In the UK it was introduced as "The Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997" (SI. 3032 of 1997) and came into force on January 1, 1998. January 1 is the first day of the calendar year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. ...
