Service Details

Integrated Circuit Topography

Products designed to perform an electronic function, having at least one active element and interconnections brought together within or on a piece, are referred to as integrated circuits (chips, microchips). A series of images fixed in any format representing the three-dimensional arrangement of the layers forming the integrated circuit is referred to as integrated circuit topography.

Protection for these topographies lasts for 10 years, ensuring exclusive rights to the design.

Here are the services we provide for integrated circuit topographies:

• Drafting of Abstract

An abstract describing the integrated circuit topography is drafted for the registration application.

• Application

The application procedure for integrated circuit topography registration is carried out once the abstract and accompanying documents, including copies or drawings, have been prepared.

• Recordal of Address/Title/ Change of Name and Recordal of License/Merger/Assignment

Any recordal of address, title, change of name and recordal of license/merger/assignment is carried out before the relevant authority.
