Legal Framework:

For Chip-Designs, Chips and EDA Software we have 4 underlying legal frameworks:

• Copyright (applies to EDA Software, others?)
• Trademark (applies to EDA Software name, ...)
• Chip Topography
• Patents

We have the following works that we want coverable:

• EDA Software (compilable sourcecode, binary, scripts)
• GDS2(/OASIS/MAG/...) designs
• Masks
• Wafers
• Packaged chips
• PCB Designs
• PCBs
• Assembled product

Open legal questions:

• Does the copyright apply to hardware?
