17 USC Sec. 909 - Mask work notice
(a) The owner of a mask work provided protection under this
chapter may affix notice to the mask work, and to masks and
semiconductor chip products embodying the mask work, in such manner
and location as to give reasonable notice of such protection. The
Register of Copyrights shall prescribe by regulation, as examples,
specific methods of affixation and positions of notice for purposes
of this section, but these specifications shall not be considered
exhaustive. The affixation of such notice is not a condition of
protection under this chapter, but shall constitute prima facie
evidence of notice of protection.
(b) The notice referred to in subsection (a) shall consist of -
(1) the words ''mask work'', the symbol *M*, or the symbol M
(the letter M in a circle); and
(2) the name of the owner or owners of the mask work or an
abbreviation by which the name is recognized or is generally
known.
