Safeguarding Innovation
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, integrated circuits play a pivotal role in powering electronic devices and systems. Recognizing the importance of protecting these innovations, international agreements such as the TRIPS Agreement mandate member countries to safeguard the layout designs of integrated circuits in accordance with the IPIC Treaty negotiated under the auspices of WIPO.
An integrated circuit is defined as an intermediate or final form of a product with electronic functionality, comprising at least one active component and interconnected elements assembled into a single piece of material. This definition encompasses the diverse array of electronic components that power modern devices, from microprocessors to memory chips.
Integrated circuit topography, on the other hand, refers to an array of images prepared for production and fixed in any format, illustrating a three-dimensional array forming an integrated circuit. These topographies represent the intricate designs that enable the functionality of integrated circuits.
