Overview

Mark Davison examines several legal models designed to protect databases, and specifically, the E.U. Directive—the history of its adoption and its transposition into national laws. Davison compares the Directive with various American legislative proposals, as well as the principles of misappropriation that are behind them. In addition, the book contains a commentary on the appropriateness of the various models in the context of arguments for international agreement on the topic.

Synopsis

A consideration of the legal models designed to protect databases.
