‘Football fixtures, horseraces and spinoffs: the ECJ domesticates the database right’ external link

EIPR, num: 3, pp: 113-118, 2005

Abstract

On November 9, 2004 the ECJ handed down four important decisions on the interpretation of the sui generis database right of the European Database Directive. In the first place, they hold that investment in 'creating' data, e.g. by drawing up a list of sporting events, does not count towards 'substantial investment', thereby denying protection to such 'single-source' data as football fixtures and horseracing schedules. By making a distinction between 'created' and 'obtained' data, the ECJ embraces one of the main arguments underlying the 'spin-off theory'. In the second place, the ECJ clarifies that in determining infringement the economic value of the appropriated data is irrelevant.
