Integrated Circuit Topologies (ICTs) Registration

The topology of an integrated circuit is the spatial-geometric arrangement of the elements and connections within an integrated circuit, fixed on a physical carrier. An integrated circuit is a microelectronic device in its final or intermediate form, designed to perform functions of an electronic circuit, with its elements and connections formed inseparably in the volume and/or on the surface of the material from which the device is made (Article 1448 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

About the service

Integrated Circuit Topologies (ICTs) Registration
The law protects not the integrated circuit itself, but specifically its topology – the arrangement of key elements visible on the surface. It's crucial that the connections between elements are distinct from those already known.

While the procedure for registering Integrated Circuit Topographies (ICTs) is not mandatory, registration ensures the protection of your exclusive rights by the state. You can freely manage it at your discretion and, in case of rights infringement, demand compensation. It's much easier to defend your position with a protective document confirming your intellectual property rights.

The term of exclusive rights for a topology is 10 years.

We provide:
