[2G4-OS-2b-01] Proposing the Enactment of Data Registration
Keywords:Unfair Competition Act, Limitatively Distributed Data, Registration
An amendment to the Unfair Competition Act in 2018 in Japan provides for civil remedies such as damages and injunction against unfair acquisition, use and disclosure of data that satisfy certain requirements. However, it is not easy to prove the ownership and content of the data, let alone the change of right concerning data. Therefore, this presentation presents the proposal of enacting the registration of data with a legal framework of ensuring bona fide commercial transactions thereof. This presentation does not concern with a privacy but property aspect of data.
