The Semiconductor Chip Protection Act And Its Impact On The International Protection Of Chip Designs, Jay Erstling
The Semiconductor Chip Protection Act And Its Impact On The International Protection Of Chip Designs, Jay Erstling
Faculty Scholarship
The United States Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984 (“SCPA”') has already had a profound impact on the creation of foreign legal systems of chip protection. The allure of reciprocity under the SCPA has motivated a host of nations, including Japan, the Member States of the European Communities (“EC”'), Sweden, Finland, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland, to adopt or consider adopting chip protection legislation.

Faculty Scholarship
French copyright law has attracted considerable recent attention in the United States.
