Walless has successfully represented CarVertical before the Vilnius District Court in a case that resulted in the confirmation that database makers cannot block the reuse of non-substantial publicly accessible data.
According to Walless, the court emphasized that for database sui generis rights to restrict data reuse, an adverse effect on the database maker’s investment must be reasonably proven, rather than merely demonstrating a possible minor decline in revenue.
The Walless team included Partner Laura Ziferman and Expert Raimondas Andrijauskas.
