الحماية الجزائية للتصاميم الشكلية للدوائر المتكاملة في التشريع الجزائري

Abstract EN

Industrial progress resulting from scientific and technological development has had a significant impact on the emergence of integrated circuit layout-designs, making it a key factor in strengthening the State's industrial capacity, and because of its importance in the organization of economic relations, developed countries had to find a legislative system to ensure the protection of these patterns of configuration of integrated circuits and to contribute to the development of industry and tradeProtecting the right of the innovator would stimulate innovation towards new models of integrated circuit layout-designs that would create economic enterprises contributing to the prosperity of trade.

The layout plans (topographies) of integrated circuits, as well as other industrial property rights, enjoy criminal protection in the form of infringement proceedings, and According to Order No 03-08, any infringement of rights arising from these layout-designs shall be considered an infringement offence.

In order to study criminal protection, the concept of layout designs (topographies) of integrated circuits, which are primarily scientific electronic rather than legal, should first be introduced, and then to study the infringement offence by addressing their elements.
