Database right on scientific output?
Is there substantial investment in obtaining, verification and presentation of the contents of the database?
If so, who is ‘the person who takes the initiative and the risk of investing’ eligible to qualify as rights holder? The Funding organization, the University or the researcher?
Legal status of scientific output not entirely clear;
Exception for scientific use is poorly implemented and harmonized.
Authorization of the rights owner is required to use a substantial portion of the contents of a database
IP Protection of scientific output

OA principles widely embraced by governments and funding agencies around the world Mainly in relation to publications Research Data not yet a focus in most
countries Restrictions on access through contracts
