I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PROTECTION

Article 1 This Act regulates the protection of topographies of semiconductor products.

DEFINITIONS Article 2

For the purposes of this Act:

(1) A Semiconductor product means the final or an intermediate form of any product:

a) Consisting of a body of material which includes a layer of semiconducting material, and

b) Having one or more other layers composed of conducting, insulating or semiconducting material which have been arranged in accordance with a predetermined three-dimensional pattern, and

c) Intended to perform an electronic function, exclusively or together with other functions.

(2) The topography of a semiconductor product (hereinafter: topography) means a series of related images, however fixed or encoded:

a) Representing the three-dimensional pattern of the layers of which a semiconductor product is composed, and

b) In which series each image has the pattern or part of the pattern of a surface of the semiconductor product at any stage of its manufacture.

(3) Commercial exploitation of a topography means the sale, rental, leasing or any other method of commercial distribution of the topography, including its offer for any of these purposes. First commercial exploitation shall not include exploitation under conditions of confidentiality to the extent that no further distribution to third parties occurs.

II. PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AND RIGHT

TO PROTECTION

PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS Article 3

(1) The topography shall be protected by an exclusive right in accordance with the provisions of this Act if it is the result of its creator's own intellectual effort and is not commonplace in the semiconductor industry.

(2) Where the topography consists of elements that are commonplace in the semiconductor industry, it shall be protected only to the extent that the combination of such elements, taken as a whole, fulfils the conditions referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article.

RIGHT TO PROTECTION Article 4

(1) Right to protection shall apply in favour of natural persons who are the creators of the topographies. Where several persons have jointly created a topography, the right shall jointly apply in favour of all of them.

(2) Where a topography is created in the course of the creator's employment, the right to protection shall apply in favour of the creator's employer unless otherwise provided by the employment contract.

(3) Where a topography is created under a contract other than a contract of employment, the right to protection shall apply in favour of a party to the contract by whom the topography has been commissioned, unless otherwise provided by the contract.

(4) Where a topography is created in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3) of this Article, the right to protection of a topography shall apply in favour of:

a) Natural persons who are nationals of the Republic of Croatia or who have their domicile or habitual residence on the territory of the Republic of Croatia;

b) Companies or other legal persons who have their principle place of business on the territory of the Republic of Croatia.

PRAVO NA ZAŠTITU

Članak 4. (1) Pravo na zaštitu topografije imaju fizičke osobe

koje su njezini stvaratelji. Kada je više osoba zajednički stvorilo topografiju, pravo na zaštitu imaju svi stvaratelji zajedno.

(2) Kada je topografija stvorena u radnom odnosu, pravo na zaštitu ima poslodavac stvaratelja topografije, ako ugovorom o radu nije drukčije određeno.

(3) Kada je topografija stvorena na temelju ugovora različitog od ugovora o radu, pravo na zaštitu ima stran- ka tog ugovora koja je topografiju naručila, ako takvim ugovorom nije drukčije određeno.

(4) Kada je topografija stvorena u skladu sa stavkom 2. i 3. ovoga članka, pravo na zaštitu imaju:

a) fizičke osobe koje su državljani Republike Hrvat- ske ili na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske imaju prebivalište ili uobičajeno boravište,

b) trgovačka društva i druge pravne osobe koje imaju sjedište na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske.

(5) Pravo na zaštitu također pripada pravnim sljednicima osoba navedenih u stavku 1. – 4. ovoga članka.

Članak 5. Strane pravne i fizičke osobe koje nemaju sjedište,

odnosno prebivalište ili uobičajeno boravište na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske uživaju zaštitu predviđenu ovim Zakonom, ako to proizlazi iz međunarodnih ugovora koji obvezuju Republiku Hrvatsku ili iz primjene načela uzajamnosti.

III. POSTUPAK ZA REGISTRACIJU

ZAJEDNIČKE ODREDBE O POSTUPKU PRED ZAVODOM

Članak 6. (1) Postupak za registraciju i proglašenje ništavim

rješenja o registraciji topografije provodi Državni zavod za intelektualno vlasništvo Republike Hrvatske (u daljnjem tekstu: Zavod).

(2) Protiv odluka Zavoda nije dopuštena žalba, ali se može pokrenuti upravni spor.

(3) Za pojedina pitanja iz postupka koja nisu uređena ovim Zakonom primjenjuje se Zakon o općem upravnom postupku.

PODNOŠENJE PRIJAVE TOPOGRAFIJE

Članak 7. (1) Postupak za registraciju topografije pokreće se

prijavom koji sadržava zahtjev za registraciju topografije

ZAKON O ZAŠTITI TOPOGRAFIJA POLUVODIČKIH PROIZVODA

I. OPĆE ODREDBE

PREDMET ZAŠTITE

Članak 1. Ovim se Zakonom uređuje zaštita topografija

poluvodičkih proizvoda.

ODREĐENJE POJMOVA

Članak 2. Za potrebe ovoga Zakona: 1. Poluvodički proizvod označava završni ili

prijelazni oblik bilo kojeg proizvoda: a) koji se sastoji od materijala koji uključuje sloj

poluvodljivog materijala, i b) koji ima jedan ili više drugih slojeva sastavljenih

od vodljivog, izolacijskog ili poluvodljivog materijala razmještenih u skladu s unaprijed utvrđenim trodimen- zionalnim uzorkom, i

c) koji je namijenjen izvođenju elektroničke funkcije, isključivo ili zajedno s drugim funkcijama.

2. Topografija poluvodičkog proizvoda (u daljnjem tekstu: topografija) označava niz odgovarajućih slika, koja je nepromjenljivo oblikovana ili kodirana na bilo koji način, i:

a) koja predstavlja trodimenzionalni uzorak slojeva od kojih je poluvodički proizvod sastavljen, i

b) u kojem nizu svaka slika prikazuje uzorak ili dio uzorka površine poluvodičkog proizvoda na bilo kojem stupnju njegove izradbe.

3. Komercijalno iskorištavanje topografije označava prodaju, iznajmljivanje, davanje u zakup ili bilo koji drugi način komercijalne distribucije topografije, uključujući i nuđenje u te svrhe. Prvo komercijalno iskorištavanje topografije ne uključuje njeno iskorištavanje pod uvjetima povjerljivosti ako se njena daljnja distribucija ne vrši trećim osobama.

II. UVJETI ZAŠTITE I PRAVO NA ZAŠTITU

UVJETI ZAŠTITE

Članak 3. (1) U skladu s odredbama ovoga Zakona topografija

se štiti isključivim pravima ako je rezultat vlastitoga intelektualnog napora njezina stvaratelja i ako nije uobičajena u industriji poluvodiča.

(2) Ako se topografija sastoji od elemenata koji su uobičajeni u industriji poluvodiča, ona se štiti samo u opsegu u kojem kombinacija takvih elemenata, uzevši u cjelini, ispunjava uvjete iz stavka 1. ovoga članka.

NN 173/2003 (u primjeni od 01.01.2004.)

ISPITIVANJE PRIJAVE TOPOGRAFIJE

Članak 9. (1) Zavod ispituje sadržava li prijava topografije sve

elemente iz članka 7. stavka 2. ovoga Zakona. (2) Ako prijava ne sadrži sve elemente iz članka 7.

stavka 2. ovoga Zakona, Zavod će pozvati podnositelja prijave da ukloni nedostatke u roku koji ne može biti kraći od jednog mjeseca niti duži od tri mjeseca.
