The Legal Protection Of Integrated Circuit Design

This article aims to elaborate and analysis of the legal protection of integrated circuit design problems and make recommendations. IC industry in various areas of the country plays an important strategic role in the development of the industry China has also introduced policies in order to achieve world-class level of the industry and enhance our international competitiveness.Since the introduction of "Regulations on Protection of Integrated Circuits", although a lot of growth in the number of registered integrated circuit layout of exclusive rights, the integrated circuit industry has also been considerable development, but the industry still has many contradictions unresolved. The most prominent is little dispute related to the number of integrated circuit design, serious discrepancies with the IC penetration in everyday life, this contradiction has always been there, and foreign alike.Based on the conservation status of the integrated circuit design analysis, summed up the objective problems, and make recommendations for both of these problems. On the one hand, improve the layout-design registration procedures, focusing on increasing the substantive examination phase in the exclusive right of layout-design registration procedures. Improvement of the registration process can solve the problems in the layout-design protection is largely so right when it made little to worry about.The other hand,"Regulations on Protection of Integrated Circuits" from the perspective of the legislative proposals. Importance of the "Regulations on Protection of Integrated Circuits" in rank does not comply with the IC, and because fewer judicial practice, many aspects are not perfect, until really the case, when there will be "no legal basis" of the state.From the perfect angle,"Integrated Circuits Protection Ordinance", and also taking into account the printed circuit board layout designs and integrated circuit design many similarities, the author finally printed circuit board layout-design protection into "regulations on Protection of integrated Circuits", the analysis and demonstrate its feasibility.
