Chip Art
Prior to 1984, Chip art or silicon doodles served a practical purpose. If a competitor produced a similar chip, and examination showed it contained the same doodles, this was used as evidence that the design was copied and not independently derived. However, after a 1984, there was a revision of the US copyright law, which made all chip automatically copyrighted, making chip art useless.
