PCB cloning illegal? 【PCB cloning】
Update date：2012-9-20
PCB cloning illegal? Many people this question asked, strictly speaking, is illegal, it is an offense to infringe on others intellectual property. But in our country seems to piracy are more prevalent, film piracy, mobile phones cottage the Apple phone LV designer bags piracy, trademark piracy, everywhere the point of the cottage.
Special customs line of electronic products, faster updates, complex types of electronic products, the complexity of the circuit board wiring is difficult to apply for a patent, apply in time it is difficult to be protected, and can only appearance, creating a clone proliferation, we peers is more and more, there are many professional clone PCB copy board, PCB copy board, circuit board, which means that a customer gave me provide an integrated circuit board, I want a cottage phone, computer 's.
Teaching, the circuit layout-design in the analysis and evaluation of concepts, techniques, or layout-designs, logical structure, component configuration and copy layout-design and analysis on the basis of the evaluation results are applied to the original layout into the design, and accordingly the fabrication of integrated circuits, and shall not be deemed as infringement. However, simply to operate sales for the purpose of copying others protected layout-design and production of integrated circuits, should be regarded as infringement.
PCB cloning indeed can accelerate electronic product development speed to close the gap, but to some extent above people dependent, so more people less willing to develop products, the widening gap such as electronic not willing to see. Formal copy board of institutions have clearly defined where reverse engineering customers, legitimate source design copyright statement must, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright owner of the original design, and customer commitment to reverse the outcome of mainly used for the legitimate purposes of teaching, analysis, technical research.
But, at the same time, the reverse engineering committed to the original product design ideas for secondary development, analysis and data extraction circuit schematic, add a new design concept and function modules in the product design, rapid in the original products based on innovation and upgrading and upgrading enhance overall competitiveness, boost electronics industry. Secondary development can make our products more market Shenzhen East conduction technology company is a professional PCB cloning company, to encourage more customers to the second development, making the product more competitive, but also makes the product innovation, people continuously from electronic products, the results of scientific and technological progress.
