Analysis of foreign tech transfer offices experience for the effective tech transfer system formation in the Ukrainian scientific institutions

Abstract

The introduction highlights some of the current problems of technology transfer offices (OTT) in Ukraine. The world has developed effective practices for the functioning of OTT, but they do not take into account the current problems of Ukraine’s economic situation. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to study the world practices of OTT and adapt their experience to the current realities of Ukraine. Using analysis and synthesis methods, the review of foreign and domestic scientific papers and normative legal acts devoted to the practice and experience of the most famous OTT was fulfilled. Results: Based on the analysis of the best world practice of OTT, practical recommendations for the functioning of Ukrainian OTTs with regard to modern realities have been obtained. It is found that only a small number of technologies in a large portfolio of intellectual property objects can bring significant income. Conclusions. Some recommendations based on the experience of western OTT are provided to the management of domestic scientific institutions.
