摘要
The European Court of Justice has ruled on the circumstances in which databases may be protected by the Database Directive. In a decision that renders the protection of databases a narrow concept, the ECJ appears to have introduced a new requirement that a database must comprise its author's 鈥渃reative ability鈥?in order to qualify for protection as a copyright work.
