Welcome back, Luis! :) This Directive is quite important to us, so we will give it a serious amount of attention. After a first look it seems much less biased than the "Data Driven Economy" one. We know that they are planning a legislative package on data in the Digital Single Market. Overhauling this Directive by, let's say, scrapping the sui generis right part, seems possible right now. The main risk is that the Commission might be getting pressure to introduce a new related right on data in parallel, which would do plenty of harm.
I am meeting the unit responsible for this next week and will have fresh news to share. They have hired some external consultant to also analyse the stakeholder field in parallel. The more examples of start-ups we can come up with, that experience the sui generis right as an obstacle, the better.
