This study considers the legal protection of databases (traditional and new media) in Canada and comparatively with protections available or proposed in the United States and the European Union. It represents the initial stage preliminary to the development of a database protection policy for Canada... The need for a database protection policy arises from recent legal and policy developments within Canada and internationally. These developments are detailed in the study and include the possibility of an international treaty or guidelines on database protection developed under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organization.--Page vii
