As technology of semiconductor have been developed, concept of right of design layout also should be developed. Especially, because semiconductor's sector is important on economy in South Korea and is rapidly changed as light speed, we should make our concern about the evolution of technology all the time. This will bring us legal stability on this area and layout designers appropriate interests. When we investigate into evolution of technology, we can find SoC(System on a Chips) environment based on SIP(Semiconductor Intellectual Property). SoC makes it possible a product smaller and power saving, and IP is consist of Hard IP, Firm IP and Soft IP. This makes that creation of virtual components and flexible circulation(reuse) of IP are possible. Therefore we should protect IPs as well as layout design. Usually, To make Soft IP, we use HDL(Hardware Description Language). Therefore we should protect computer program using HDL as well as Soft IP. This is different from protection of layout design. Whereas the protection of layout design is closer to patent system, protection of Soft IP and computer program using HDL is closer to copyright system. Therefore, we should create new legal system for Soft IP and VC(computer program using HDL) in a point of view of software's protection system.
