The basics of electronic terminologies with respect to Diode, Transistor, Semi-conductor, Layout, Topography, Circuit and Integrated Circuit were introduced by the speaker.  The principle which led to India’s sui generis stem, to regulate the unfair market access as the driving force to stay away from extending the patent protections to Layout designs was presented. The same position in US which led to the USA enacting its 1984 Semi-conductor Protection Act(SCPA) was discussed.  The requirements, procedures and the final effect when protected by a design registration in the Semi-Conductor Integrated Circuit Layout Design Registry(SICLDR) of India was discussed. Licensing, assigning, appealing against Registrar’s orders and the ensuing Offenses and Penalties for transgression and innocent infringement were discussed.  Finally, the preference of the inventors to stay away from their design registration and trending case laws were discussed.
