The European Commission is consulting stakeholders from 1 December 2025 to 23 January 2026 on protocols for reserving rights from text and data mining under the AI Act and General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice.
In partnership with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), this initiative aims to define technically robust, machine-readable opt-out solutions that enable rightsholders to exercise their reservations effectively.
Stakeholders—including rightsholders, GPAI providers, civil society organisations, standardisation bodies and other interested parties—are encouraged to share their views.
The results will establish a regularly updated list of approved machine-readable opt-out standards- reinforcing the right to reserve text and data mining under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and meeting the AI Act’s Article 53(1)(c) obligation for GPAI providers to identify and respect such reservations. This is a pivotal step towards legal certainty and responsible AI across all sectors.
