in canada, the appeal-level case of "tele-direct (publications) inc. v. american business information inc." (1997) 76 c.p.r. (3d) 296 (f.c.a.) reached a similar result to that of "feist". however, the supreme court partially backed away from the originality doctrine in "cch canadian ltd. v. law society of upper canada". under the cch ruling, someone may assert protection in a database where the facts are themselves not copied from another source. for example, a person may assert protection in a collection of her own recipes, but she may not assert protection in a database of facts about persons and their ancestry compiled from census records.
