Who can register an integrated circuit topography?

The creator of a topography or the successor in title can obtain protection. Typically, the owner is the creator. If a creator sells his or her rights, then a second party will own the topography and will be able to obtain ICT protection. If the creator designs the circuit as part of an employment contract, the employer may own the topography and be entitled to the protection.
