Why this score

Peru's copyright law in force on 1990-01-01 was Ley 13714 of 1961 (Ley de Derecho de Autor). Despite extensive web searching, the full statutory text of Ley 13714 could not be located or verified online. No digitized version of the original text was found on official Peruvian government sites, WIPO Lex, or other permitted sources. Without access to the actual text of the exceptions and limitations provisions, the classification cannot be determined with confidence. The law was superseded by Decreto Legislativo 822 in 1996.

Why this score

Decreto Legislativo 822 replaced Ley 13714 as Peru's copyright law. Evaluating all exceptions relevant to research: (1) Art. 43(a) permits reprographic reproduction for teaching/exams of 'articles or brief extracts' — limited to excerpts, not full works, and limited to educational institutions. (2) Art. 43(b) permits reprographic reproduction for exclusive use of the person making it, but only of 'brief extracts' (breves extractos). (3) Art. 50 permits reproduction for personal use of the copier, but limited to 'small parts of a protected work' (pequeñas partes) or out-of-print works. For in-print works, this is limited to small parts only. (4) Art. 44 permits quotation only. (5) Art. 49 permits library reproduction only for preservation/replacement, not for research. (6) Art. 41 permits communication only in domestic sphere, official acts, or didactic purposes in educational institutions — none of these are general research exceptions. (7) Art. 46 permits recording of lectures for personal use. (8) Art. 48 permits reproduction for judicial/administrative proceedings. None of these exceptions permit reproduction of full works for research purposes (except Art. 50 for out-of-print works, which is a narrow case). The ceiling for in-print works is 'small parts' or 'brief extracts.' There is no fair use, fair dealing, or general research exception. There is no TDM exception. The most permissive exception for research involving in-print works is Art. 50 (personal use limited to small parts) or Art. 43(b) (brief extracts for exclusive personal use). Both cap reproduction at excerpts/small parts. Art. 50 does allow full reproduction of out-of-print works, but this is a very narrow category. For the general case of research involving in-print works, the ceiling is small parts/brief extracts, which maps to RED. The non-commercial restriction in Art. 43 and the single-copy nature of Art. 50 are classification-neutral factors. Note: Art. 50 for out-of-print works could arguably support LIGHT BLUE for that narrow category, but since the general rule for in-print works is small parts only, RED is the appropriate classification.

Why this score

As of 2025, Peru's copyright law remains Decreto Legislativo 822 of 1996. No amendments have been identified via web search that modified the exceptions and limitations provisions (Articles 41-50) in a manner relevant to research, private study, fair use, fair dealing, or TDM. Peru has not enacted a TDM exception. There is no general fair use or fair dealing clause. The most permissive exceptions for research remain: (1) Art. 50 — personal use reproduction limited to 'small parts' of in-print works (or full reproduction of out-of-print works only); (2) Art. 43(b) — reprographic reproduction of 'brief extracts' for exclusive personal use. Neither permits full-work reproduction of in-print works. Art. 49 permits library reproduction only for preservation/replacement purposes, not for research supply. Art. 44 permits quotation only. No exception covers sharing/communication for research. No exception is open to all users for full-work reproduction of in-print works. The ceiling for research use of in-print works remains excerpts/small parts, which maps to RED. Classification-neutral factors (non-commercial restriction, single-copy limits) were not factored into the color decision.
