*__Database right__\\
Database rights are a distinct form of copyright and apply to information held in databases that may not be covered by normal copyright. These rights are set out in the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/3032/contents/made), they subsist alongside copyright and do not override the rights of the individual copyright owners. Individual pieces of information from sources consulted by the HER during its compilation or enhancement may have their own copyright associated with them. If third parties own copyright in some of the entries then the database rights owner cannot authorise the reproduction of the part of the database containing those entries without their permission (and may be required to acknowledge their copyright). Such permission may have been obtained when the data was entered, or may have to be requested at the time of proposed reproduction of that part of the database. However, the HER will be something wholly different from the sum or its constituent pieces of information. As a whole the HER would be by “reason of the selection or arrangement of the contents of the database the database constitute the author's own intellectual creation”. The author is the person who “takes the initiative in obtaining, verifying or presenting the contents of a database and assumes the risk of investing in that obtaining, verification or presentation". So here the author of the database would be the local authority responsible for the HER with the HER staff providing the intellectual input by selecting information, deciding which records to add it to, comment on, index etc. This would represent a substantial investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting the contents of the database.
Database rights exist from the moment the database is created and then lasts for 15 years from its completion, or if it was published during that period 15 years from the end of the year of in which it was first made available to the public. If there is a substantial change to the contents of the database then the 15 year protection period recommences.
