The Legal Regulation of Integrated Circuit Topography
The Legal Regulation of Integrated Circuit Topography

Summary/Abstract: In this paper authors deal with legalregulation on commercial exploitation of integratedcircuit topographies. The legal regulation of the subjectmatter is important due to wide application of integratedcircuits in all areas of technique. Demand increasingraised financial effect. Financial gain and possibility ofintegrated circuit topographies copying attractedanauthorised use of it. Existing laws on industrialproperty did not render sufficient protection for creatorsof integrated circuit topographies. New ones werenecessary. Although imperfect and of specific naturethey provide decent motivation basis for furtherresearch and practical application of innovation in thisarea of information technology.
