Training Programs
IP
Protection of Integrated Circuits - Vietnam, December 2002
In
response to an invitation by the Swiss Federal Council, Professor
Andrew Christie and Melanie Howlett presented two training sessions
on the IP protection of layout designs (topographies) of integrated
circuits in Vietnam for the Vietnamese government in December, 2002.
The
background for these training sessions is that Vietnam is required
to adjust its IP legislation to meet requirements under the TRIPS
Agreement as part of the WTO accession process. The Special Programme
of Cooperation in the Field of Intellectual Property between Vietnam
and Switzerland (SPC) is assisting Vietnam in drafting its legislation
on the protection of integrated circuits, in order for Vietnam to
comply with the TRIPS Agreement. The SPC is holding training sessions
to accelerate the promulgation of legislation on the protection
of layout design of integrated circuits and the preparation for
its implementation. Andrew Christie and Melanie Howlett presented
these training sessions, specifically concentrating on the substantive
requirements set down by the TRIPS Agreement for the protection
of integrated circuits.
The
one day training sessions were held in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
on December 11 and December 13, 2002. The training sessions comprised
100 participants from various agencies such as IP administration
and enforcement agencies, research institutes and enterprises relating
to integrated circuits.
