Would distributing a vocabulary list for a copyrighted work violate the copyright of the original work?

Law Asked on December 4, 2021

I am considering the scenario where a vocabulary list is produced for a movie or book through use of an automated program, perhaps with manual cleanup. I get the impression that the copyright status of the list itself is a bit unclear in terms of whether it is copyrightable or not(as seen in other questions), however that is not my question. I am wondering whether the author of the original material which was referenced (ie, the author or publisher of the book or movie that was examined) would have any claim of copyright infringement against the producer of that list (for the purposes of this question you can assume it is being used commercially). I am interested in the answer world wide, although for EU, US, Canadian and Japanese law are probably the most important for my purposes.
