Research On Intellectual Property Protection Of Integrated Circuit Layout-design

As one of the basic industries in China,the integrated circuit industry can be said to be a sign to measure whether China has made progress in the development of electronic.Products can be seen everywhere in life are made from the integrated circuit.But just because of the rise of IC industry,the cases of the infringement of the exclusive rights of IC layout design happen from time to time.However,there are few cases about the protection of the exclusive right of layout-design of integrated circuits in China,and the legislative protection is still at the beginning of the 21 st century.There are still disputes about the protection scope of layout-design of integrated circuits,the standard of infringement of copying right,and the standard of legality of reverse engineering.There is no clear judgment standard,and it will cause a lot of inconvenience to apply for the exclusive right of layout-design in ordinary times and in judicial practice.Therefore,the author starts from the protection scope of integrated circuit layout design,the standard of infringement of reproduction right,and the standard of legality definition of reverse engineering.Through comparing the copyright law and patent law,as well as international and domestic legislation,analysis is suitable for the development of China’s integrated circuit industry criterion,and puts forward to the international legislative definition of scope,the protection of layout-designs of integrated circuits clear layout design originality judgment standard,clear legal Suggestions such as the definition of reverse engineering standard to consummates our country related intellectual property rights protection of layout-designs of integrated circuits.
