| Abstract | With its millions of intricately formed integrated circuits, the semiconductor chip represents a new kind of intellectual property. Hong Kong recognized the need for special legislation to protect integrated circuit layouts as early as June 1988. But efforts in completing a body of legislation were stalled until February 1993 when the Secretary for Trade and Industry embarked on an ambitious course to finalize the proposed legislation and introduce it to the current session of the Hong Kong Legislative Council. This article reviews the current draft of the Layout-Design (Topography) of Integrated Circuits Ordinance. |
