Law of Semiconductor and Integrated Circuits
(Or subscribe to access.)
Semiconductors are the crux of the modern technological age. They are found everywhere around us be, it communication, computing, electrical appliances, electrical devices or healthcare etc., and the integrated circuit is a fundamental building block of these devices. Development of successful topographies of semiconductor chips takes enormous capital, time and effort. At the same time, chip piracy is an effortless technique. Semiconductor protection law is a legal enforcement that is uniquely designed to protect intellectual endeavours in the microchip industry. With rapid advancement in the semiconductor industry, intellectual property professionals also need to acquaint themselves with the legal framework to help innovators in protecting and maintaining their IP on the semiconductor and integrated circuits. The course covers the criteria for protection of semiconductors, registration process of semiconductors and integrated circuits and infringement and remedies.
I would say that hardware is the bone of the head, the skull. The semiconductor is the brain within the head. The software is the wisdom and data is the knowledge.

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I am talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor.
