Any third party is prohibited from:
– reproducing the protected topography;
– commercially exploiting or holding, transhipping, using, exporting or importing for that purpose any such reproduction or any semiconductor product incorporating it.
This prohibition does not extend:
– to reproduction for the purposes of evaluation, analysis or teaching;
– to the creation, from such analysis or evaluation, of a distinct topography eligible for protection under this chapter.
The above prohibition is not enforceable against a bona fide acquirer of a semiconductor product. The latter shall, however, be liable for fair compensation if he intends to continue the commercial exploitation of the product thus acquired.
Any violation of the prohibition provided for in the preceding paragraphs shall constitute an infringement engaging the civil liability of its author.
