Key Concepts 1. Basic concepts used in this Law: Integral Chip Topology (hereafter referred to as Topology) is a spatial-geometrical location of integral elements of integral circuits and connections between them; integral chip (hereinafter referred to as IMS) is a microelectronic product of the final or intermediate form designed to perform the functions of an electronic circuit whose members and connections are not separated formed at the volume and/or surface of the material on which product; Using the topologies to generate a profit is the reproduction, distribution by any means of topology, MMS with this topology, or including such BIMs for retrieval purposes Profit.
