Abstract: The WTO has begun its work on the interface between Big Data and trade law, including the TRIPS Agreement. After defining Big Data, this paper explores how TRIPS and especially the copyright section might apply. It also discusses briefly the EU database right and then considers how an exception for Text and Data Mining (TDM) might be analyzed under TRIPS and the three-step test.
