  • Abstract
    The local impact of the law suit against Advanced Micro Devices Inc. that was won by Brooktree Corp. in establishing just where copying ends and reverse engineering begins, and how to prove the difference, is discussed. In particular, to stay within the bounds of the chip protection act, the chip copier must prove some innovation was added, and must produce a paper trail.<>
