I. General Provisions

Article 1

This Law shall regulate the protection of layout-designs of integrated circuits, hereinafter: topography.

Article 2

Integrated circuit means a product, in its final form or an intermediate form, in which the elements, at least one of which is an active element, and some or all of the interconnections are integrally formed in and or on a piece of material and which is intended to perform an electronic function.

Layout-design—topography—of an integrated circuit means the three-dimensional disposition of elements, however expressed, at least one of which is an active element, and of some or all of the interconnections of an integrated circuit, or such a three-dimensional disposition of an integrated circuit prepared for manufacture.

Creator of a topography is the natural person who has created the topography by his or her own creative intellectual work.

The holder of the protected right means the natural person who or the legal entity which, in the procedure prescribed by this Law, has been granted the right to protection of the topography, or its successors in title.

Commercial exploitation of the topography means the production, reproduction, importation, sale, leasing, rental or offering for any of these purposes, or any other way of commercial use of the topography or the integrated circuit produced on the basis of the topography.

II. Right to Protection

Article 3

The right to the protection of a topography under this Law shall belong to its creator as well as to his successors in title.

If the topography has been created jointly by several persons, the right to protection of the topography shall equally belong to all its creators, unless otherwise provided by a contract.

If the topography has been created in the course of employment or is based on commission, the right to protection shall apply in favour of the creator’s employer or in favour of the ordering party, unless otherwise stipulated by the contract of employment or commission.

The right to protection referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall belong to natural persons who are nationals of the Republic of Croatia or to legal entities having their business seat in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.

The right to protection referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall also belong to natural persons who are not nationals of the Republic of Croatia, and to foreign legal entities having no residence in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, if this results from international treaties and conventions or from the application of the principles of reciprocity.

Article 4

The right to the protection of a topography shall be transferable.

III. Protection Requirements and Granting Procedure

Article 5

A topography shall be protected if it is original.

A topography shall be deemed original if it is a result of the creator’s own intellectual activity and the creative activity of several persons, and has not been applied in the industry of semiconductors at the time of its creation.

If a topography contains elements that have been applied in the industry of semiconductors, the combination of these elements shall be protected, taken as a whole, only if it meets the requirements related to the originality stipulated by paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article.

Article 6

The State Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Croatia (hereinafter: the Office) shall carry out the administrative granting procedure and shall keep the register of the protected topographies.

Against the decisions made by the Office no appeal shall be allowed, nevertheless an administrative law-suit may be initiated.

The register referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be public.
