Some reflections after the judgment of the court of justice of the european union in case CV-Online Latvia v Melons T2 Minería de datos, derecho sui generis y agregadores. Algunas reflexiones tras la sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea en el caso CV-Online Latvia v Melons A1 Minero Alejandre, Gemma K1 data mining K1 databases K1 aggregators K1 investment AB European Intellectual Property Law provides a special intellectual property (IP) right –the suigeneris right– for those database makers that made a substantial investment when creatingthe database. This IP right is infringed in those cases where the defendant creates a risk thatthe database maker will lose incomes, thereby depriving that database maker of revenue whichshould have enabled him to redeem the cost of the investment in setting up and operatingthe database. However, in recent Melons case, the Court of Justice of the European Unionredefines the sui generis right in relation to online aggregators. It highlights the fact that accessto information and competition concerns have to enter the sui generis right’s infringementtest. It is the first time that this Court balances the interest of the database maker and thoseof the other parties, as part of the infringement test. We have to keep in mind Europeancaselaw on aggregators and scraping since scraping tools are playing and will play a key rolein the development of artificial intelligence.
