Court of Justice (Fifth Chamber) 19 December 2013, C‑202/12 (Innoweb BV v Wegener ICT Media BV and Wegener Mediaventions BV.)
Also known as
The Court's judgment addresses the interpretation of Article 7 of Directive 96/9/EC concerning the legal protection of databases, specifically focusing on the concept of "re-utilisation" by operators of dedicated meta search engines. It concludes that such operators re-utilise a substantial part of a protected database when their search engine provides similar functionality to the database's own search form, translates user queries in real-time, and presents results in a comparable format. This ruling clarifies the extent of the sui generis rights of database makers against unauthorized extraction and re-utilisation.AI
