 104 STAT, mm PROCLAMATION 6175—SEPT. 6, 1990 geacy. A government may use semiconductor integrated circuit layout designs for governmental purposes on a non-exclusive basis. Compensation commensurate with the market value for a license of the semiconductor integrated circuit layout design must be provided when the government uses a layout design for government purposes or provides for or orders the issuance of compulsory or non-voluntary licenses during a declared national emergency. Decisions to grant compulsory or non-voluntary licenses and the compensation provided shall be subject to judicial review. The following acts may be exempted from liability under the law: (a) reproduction of a layout design for purposes of teaching, analysis, or evaluation in the course of preparation of a layout design that is itself original; (b) importation and distribution of semiconductor integrated circuit chips, incorporating a protected layout design which were sold by or with the consent of the owner of the layout design; and (c) importation or distribution of a semiconductor integrated circuit chip incorporating a protected layout design by a person who establishes that he or she did not know, and had no reasonable grounds to believe, that the layout design was protected, provided that such person is liable for reasonable royalties after notice is received.

Czechoslovakia will examine the best means to implement such transitional protection.
