The IPO has requested feedback by the end of May 2007, in advance of the next round of European Council discussions on the Directive which are scheduled for June 2007 (or later in the year).

Source: EU Official Journal, OJ L 261/12 and OJ C 234/8, 6 October 2007.Legal update: archive05-Oct-200732High Court rules ex-employees infringed database right by ...The High Court has held that ex-employees who copied and retained various documents belonging to their ex-employer, such as customer contact details and sales figures, had not acted in breach of confidence, because the information was available in the public domain or their gathered skills and expertise, so that it was not confidential so as to prevent them from using it after the termination of their employment contracts. However, Peter Smith J held, among other things, that the ex-employees had infringed their ex-employer's database right by copying various customer sales figures and electronic files from its computer system to the computer system of a competing company set up by the ex-employees. The case illustrates the potential utility of claims for database right infringement where ex-employees have copied and retained information without authorisation, in particular where such information may not be protected by confidentiality. Case: Crowson Fabrics Ltd v Rider and others, 20 December 2007.Legal update: case report20-Dec-200733Advocate General considers meaning of extraction in ...In a reference from the German courts, Advocate General (AG) Sharpston has delivered an opinion in which she concluded that the concept of extraction in the Database Directive (96/9/EC) was a broad one and that indirect copying of a protected database could infringe the sui generis right given by the Directive. In this case, the database had been used as a source of information, albeit on an extensive basis. Although the AG sought to rely on the ECJ's decision in the British Horseracing Board case, which restricted the protection for certain databases, the broad protection she has advocated in this case stands in marked contrast to that earlier, ECJ decision.
