The producer of a database, understood as the person who takes the initiative and the risk of the corresponding investments, benefits from protection of the contents of the database when the constitution, verification or presentation of the latter attests to a substantial financial, material or human investment.

This protection is independent and is exercised without prejudice to those resulting from copyright or another right in the database or one of its constituent elements.
