Abstract
This chapter describes the concept of technology transfer. In a broad nonlegal sense, the concept of technology transfer includes any type of disclosure of practical information that may be used for economic purposes by a recipient or beneficiary state. The concept of technology transfer is frequently narrowed to include only transactions of an international character, that is, those in which transferor and transferee belong to different countries or in which, even though both operate in the same jurisdiction, the technology has been previously acquired abroad by the transferor. A broad overview of the rules currently applicable to the international transfer of technology transaction indicates a division between developing countries that have tended to enact direct regulations applicable to such transactions, and industrialized nations, which are inclined to follow an antitrust approach to this matter.
