The Integrated Circuit Topography Act (French: Loi sur les topographies de circuits intégrés, C-37) is legislation passed by the Parliament of Canada in 1990 that regulates the intellectual property of integrated circuit topographies.
The Act provides exclusive rights for the creator of the integrated circuit topography and remedies to deter infringement.
To receive the exclusive right to an integrated circuit topography the topography must be registered at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
These creations are protected in Canada by the Integrated Circuit Topography Act, which gives the creator exclusive rights for a period of ten years after registration.
