One of the important components and products is Circuit Housed in a Platform (CHIP). The Integrated Circuit Layout Design Act aims to protect "silicon chips" or "Integrated Circuits" which are the main drivers of technological progress in the past two decades, specifically the computer industry and related technologies. (Tim Lindsey.
