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 iuris
In civil law, the phrase sui juris indicates legal competence — the capacity to manage one's own affairs (Black's Law Dictionary, Oxford English Dictionary) — as opposed to alieni juris, which means someone under the control of another (such as a child or mentally incapable person might be). It also indicates an entity capable of suing and/or being sued in a legal proceeding in their own name (in personam) without the need of an ad litem. (A court appointed representative, acting on behalf of a defendant, that is deemed to be incapable of representing themselves).
