The Semiconductor integrated circuit is an integral part of every computer chip. The main idea behind the Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Layout-Design Act (SICLD), 2000 is to provide protection of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) in the area of Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Layout-Designs and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The Act fulfills the obligations of TRIPS agreement (Art.35 to 38) regarding the protection of semiconductor integrated circuits layout-designs. Therefore, the major provisions contained in the SICLD Act are as follows:
SICLD Act defines the following as:
“Semiconductor Integrated Circuit” means a product having transistors and other circuitry elements, which are inseparably formed on a semiconductor material or an insulating material or of the semiconductor material and designed to perform an electronic circuitry function.
“Layout–Design” means a layout of the transistor and other circuitry elements and includes lead wires connecting such elements and expressed in any manner in a semiconductor integrated circuit.
“Commercial exploitation” in relation to the SLCLD means to sell, lease, offer or exhibit for sale or otherwise distribute such semiconductor integrated circuit for any commercial purpose.
- The Registration and Conditions of Registration: The Central Government will appoint a Registrar by notifying in the Gazette of India and will also appoint such other officials for fulfilling the functions prescribed under the Act. The officers will be abided by the stipulations of the Act under the
