– How to encourage diffusion and transfer of
technology?
climate change and technology: what role for patents?
(...) Reflections on technology transfer
Equally, the absence of an enforceable patent right in a certain country does not in itself provide any guarantee of technology transfer. – most inventions are protected in a small minority of countries
worldwide, without concomitant transfer of that technology in practice to those countries
– it leaves open the prospect of using the technology disclosed in the patent document, but often without the partnership or involvement of the technology originator, and the transfer of valuable knowhow and other background technology that may be useful for the effective exploitation of the technology.
Reflections on technology transfer
Taking out a patent is not a stand-alone technology transfer mechanism, any more than foregoing the option of a patent is a single form of knowledge management.
Rather, patents are used in a host of different ways to transfer technology, depending on whether effective transfer of the technology concerned requires
– market-based incentives core technologies to be developed/disseminated, – leveraging access to other related technologies from diverse sources – public institutions to maintain an interest and a degree of leverage over technology developed
through public investment – the creation of new enterprises as tailor-made vehicles for development of a new technology – a broad-based open licensing structure to promote dissemination of a platform or enabling
technology – cross-licensing structures or pool arrangements that allow diverse technology players to build
on the benefits of each others’ technologies – packaging patented technology with non-patented material, such as knowhow, commercial
information, or regulatory approval dossiers.
