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.
Pater familias
Women emancipated from the "potestas" of a "pater familias" were independent by law ("sui iuris") but had a male guardian appointed to them. A woman "sui iuris" had the right to take legal action on her own behalf but not to administer legal matters for others.
