Sui generis database right
A "sui generis" database right is considered to be a property right, comparable to but distinct from copyright, that exists to recognise the investment that is made in compiling a database, even when this does not involve the "creative" aspect that is reflected by copyright.
Sui generis
The motto "Sui Generis" has been adopted by the Akitsiraq Law School because it is a "sui generis" (aboriginal) title in all of Canadian aboriginal law institutes by dint of its title being Inuktitut, the Aboriginal language of the Inuit in the far north of Canada. More importantly, in aboriginal professional legal education, the work of Aboriginal people to define and create contemporary aboriginal education is a "thing of its own kind" having "sui generis" admissions and "sui generis" curriculum.
