This is a law number. 778 of 9. In December 1987 on the protection of the design of semiconductor products (topography) with the changes resulting from paragraph 4 of Act No 1430 of 21. In December 2005 and section 6 of the Law No 1370 of 28. December 2011. 2)

Chapter 1

General provisions

§ 1. For the purpose of a semiconductor product, this Act shall mean any product at the end or intermediate stage, which :

1) be made out of a material body, which includes a layer of semiconductor material,

2) have one or more other layers of leading, isolating or semi-conductive material placed in a predetermined three-dimensional pattern and

3) exclusively or with other functions are intended to perform an electronic function.

Paragraph 2. In the topography of a semiconductor product, this law means a series of conteeming images, whether fixated or encoded, represents the three-dimensional pattern of the layers of the semiconductor product, and in which row each image represents a portion of or all the pattern of a surface of the semiconductor product on any processing stage.

§ 2. The person who brings a topography to a semiconductor product, or the one to whom the number of the delivery person is right, may acquire the exclusive right to use the topography.

Paragraph 2. The topography must be the result of its own intellectual efforts and must not be the usual in the semiconductor industry. Reforms the topography of elements common in the semiconductor industry, the topography is covered only by the law if the combination of these elements satisfies the conditions of 1. Act.

§ 3. For the purposes of commercial exploitation of a topography, the provision of contracts, sale, rental, leasing, leasing or other gainful distribution of the topography or by a semi-conductor product obtained by the topography shall be understood.

Paragraph 2. The right of the exclusive is to be established at the first of the following times

1) the day when the topography is first utilized, or

2) on that day, when the application for registration of the topography shall be submitted to Patent and Commodities Management.

§ 6. The exclusive right to a topography shall mean that other than the only authorized person authorized by his consent may be :

1) verify the topography, including producing a semiconductor product by means of the topography,

2) capitalized on the topography, cf. Section 3, paragraph 3. 1, or

3) import the topography or a semiconductor product obtained by the topography, for commercial exploitation.

Paragraph 2. The exclusive right does not include

1) commercial use or import for this purpose by a topography or by a semi-conductor product obtained by the topography when the topography or the semiconductor product of the rightholder or with the consent of the holder or with his consent has been taken in : turnover in a State which is a member of the European Communities,

2) detraction for the purposes of analysis and evaluation of or teaching of the topography itself or the concepts, processes, systems or techniques contained in the topography, or

3) actions related to the creation of a topography which meets the conditions laid down in section 2 (2). 2, which has been produced on the basis of an analysis and evaluation of another topography.

Paragraph 3. A person who has acquired a semiconductor product without knowing or having reason to assume that the product contained a protected topography may continue to take advantage of the product in question on reasonable terms agreed between the parties.

§ 7. The protection of a topography according to section 2 encompass only the topography and not the concepts, procedures, systems, techniques, or coded information contained in the topography.
