| Like copyright, circuit layout rights are automatic for original layout designs for integrated circuits and computer chips and no registration is required.
The owner of an original circuit layout has exclusive right to:
copy the layout in a material form;
make integrated circuits from the layout; and
exploit it commercially in Australia.
Commercial exploitation may occur by importation, sale, hire or distribution of a layout or an integrated circuit made according to the layout.
