Layout-designs (topographies) of integrated circuits  
Original layout-designs

intellectual effort and

integrated circuit 
industry (although they could be an original combination of elements 
that are commonplace in 
the sector). 10 years from the earliest

shall lapse 15 years from 
the last day of the year in which the layout-design 
was created. This right may only be asserted against acts 
performed for industrial or commercial 
purposes.  Registration shall not confer the 
right to impede acts carried out in a private 
circle and for non-commercial purposes;  acts carried out exclusively for purposes of

New plant varieties    
All cultivated varieties of 
botanical genera and 
species, provided that the 
growing, possession or use thereof is not prohibited for reasons of 
human, animal or plant 
health and that they are new, uniform, distinct 
and stable, and have been 
given a name that constitutes their generic 
designation.  This does 
not apply to wi ld species, 
i.e. plant species or plant 
individuals that have not 
been planted or improved by humans. From the date when the 
plant breeder's right is 
granted, 25 years in the 
case of vines and forest and fruit trees;  20 years for all other species. Plant breeders' rights do not confer on the 
holder the right to prevent third parties from 
using the protected variety, when such use is:  
(a) private, for non-commercial purposes;  (b) for experimental purposes;  and (c) for the purposes of obtaining and exploiting a new 
variety, unless it is essentially derived from 
the protected variety.  This new variety may be registered in the name of its holder.  
Whoever reserves and sows for his own use or 
sells as a raw material or foodstuff the product obtained from the cultivation of the protected 
variety does not infringe the plant breeder's 
right.  The commercial use of multiplication, reproduction or propagation material, 
including whole plants and parts thereof, of 
fruit, ornamental and forest species, is exempt from this Article. Decision No. 345 of the

Undisclosed 
information    
Undisclosed information 
relating to commercial 
or industrial secrets, or 
any other type of confidential information 
that is secret, has 
commercial value and is subject to reasonable 
measures that have been 
adopted to keep it secret by the person who 
controls it. Indefinite protection 
through the repression of 
unfair competition, as long 
as the conditions ensuring protection prevail. Such information is protected from disclosure

Traditional knowledge    
The accumulated, 
transgenerational 
knowledge developed by indigenous peoples 
and communities 
concerning the properties, uses and 
characteristics of 
biological diversity. The rights of indigenous 
peoples over their 
collective knowledge are inalienable and 
imprescriptible.  
Indigenous peoples who possess collective 
knowledge will be 
protected against the disclosure, acquisition or 
use of such collective 
knowledge without their consent and in an unfair 
manner, insofar as such 
knowledge is not in the public domain.  They will 
also be protected against 
unauthorized disclosure should a third party have 
gained legitimate access to 
the collective knowledge albeit with an obligation 
not to disclose it. This does not affect the traditional exchange 
of protected collective knowledge between 
indigenous peoples. Law No. 27811, Law establishing
