Originality Requirement in Integrated Circuit Topography
What is Originality?
✅ It must be the result of the designer's own intellectual effort.
✅ It should not be known to integrated circuit manufacturers and topography designers during the design process.
✅ Even if known elements and interconnections are used, the arrangement as a whole must have a different and unique configuration.
Originality Criterion
If an integrated circuit topography contains a different arrangement and combination from previously known designs, and if it meets the originality requirement in terms of its integration form, it can benefit from registration protection.
Why is Originality Important?
It is one of the fundamental criteria for registrability.
It proves that your design is unique and worth protecting.
It prevents competitors from producing similar designs.
