A pleasure meeting you all at LWG this evening. I saw Brexit in the minutes for September "At the end of year we won't be losing database rights immediately."
General guidance I've seen appears to say: - database rights accrued before 2021-01-01 persist (as I've seen discussed in minutes) - database rights accrued from 2021-01-01 will exist only in the UK (if at all: I can't see any enabling legislation after a quick look, and this may have gone into the Govt's "later" tray - so copyright may be the only protection). The last point suggests to me that any edits made after 2020-01-01 will have less protection than so far has been the case. Is that your understanding? Or is the database as a whole protected because the architecture has been built, and subsequent edits are protected modifications of an already-protected creation?
