Industry engagement and the application of universities’ research outcomes for shaping society to achieve a habitable environment are possible as a result of technology transfer. With reference to universities in the Czech Republic, this paper proposes a model of effective knowledge management for intellectual property created by university employees according to the structure of individual faculties and their main research focus. The ultimate goal is to achieve effective technology transfer through knowledge management. A review of previous technology transfer models, such as appropriability, dissemination, knowledge utilization, communication, use of a university technology transfer office, and the Triple Helix, shows that these models cannot effectively transfer technology individually but can do so in combination at different levels. Consequently, a knowledge management model is introduced in this study for the transfer of technology from universities. The introduction of technology transfer offices (TTOs) is expected to protect intellectual property, generate new knowledge and create access to valuable knowledge, among other benefits.

US colleges of agriculture and technology transfer offices have historically been in conflict over the management of plant varieties. In today's world, it is inefficient for agricultural colleges to have a system separate from a university's wider technology transfer system, since they both interact with inventors, handle intellectual property, market their products, negotiate licence agreements, and distribute royalties. The authors discuss a simple model that would allow these two currently competing systems to become integrated.

The regulation of technology transfer to Multinational Companies (PMN) to date still pays attention  to the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 25 of 2007 on Investment, especially  Article 2 paragraph 1, in addition to Indonesia has also adjusted the provisions of national laws in the field of economy/trade with the provisions of GATT and WTO that hav been ratified through the Law  of  the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 1994, including adjustments to the provisions of the field of intellectual property rights (IPR) contained in the TRIPs, such as the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2001 on Patents, The Law of  the Republic of Indonesia No. 15 of 2001 on Brands, and the  Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 19 of 2002 on Copyright, and others covered as objects of intellectual property rights (IPR). The role of multinational companies (PMN) in the transfer of technology can be mentioned, among  others: As a holding company that can be used for media, containers, information exchange, technology between countries in the international community which is further used, and useful for Indonesia; As a place for investment in order to obtain benefits for Indonesia; and As a place for the application of new technologies to be useful more efficiently and effectively benefit Indonesia, in addition to improving international economic trade.

An internship programme on intellectual property and the management thereof was designed and conducted at Michigan State University for representatives from developing countries. Eleven participants from eight developing countries attended the two-week programme. In addition to classroom work, the interns visited several university technology transfer offices and attended the annual meeting of the Association of University Technology Managers. As a result of the programme, interns are having a positive impact on individuals, institutions, and governments by developing educational programmes and by providing advice in the development of new intellectual property protection policies and laws. Due to its success, planning is underway to conduct the internship programme again during 1997.

Keywords: the concept of «technology transfer», technology fields, local and basictechnologies, the object of transfer, contractual relations, intellectual property. The article considers the methodology of technologytransfer from the point of economic and legal content in the field of intellectualproperty. It is noted that there is no single definition of technology transfer, as scientistsin various fields interpret it due to the peculiarities of their field of activity. Atthe general level, the field of technology is considered as the birth of technologies,their types and maturity, which are the objects of transfer, taking into account the peculiaritiesof state regulation in the field of transfer. It is in the field of technologythat an invention (utility model) is born, as a result of intellectual, creative human activity;that is, they associate this process with the material carriers of technologies, orthe intangible phenomenon becomes a material state. The transfer of technology is associatedwith the transition to technical means, technological processes, and computernetworks. It is considered from the point of law as a type of communication betweenbusiness entities on the basis of contractual relations. It is determined thatfrom the point of methodology of technologies and their components transfer, theissue of technologies origin and the nature of their creation require in-depth study,and that is important to indicate the author(s) (owner(s)) of the result of intellectual,creative activity in the field of intellectual property. The main goal of the technology can be achieved only if there is a quantitative assessment of the perfection of theprocess and product quality. Technology uses two types of models: ideal objects ofbasic sciences, on the basis of which the most general laws and regularities of naturalsciences are formulated, and ideal objects of technology itself, on the basis of whichmorphological descriptions of separate stages and functional descriptions of the structureof technological lines are made. New local technologies are the result of inventions,utility models in the field of technologies, which have a specific author(s) (inventor(s)) and which are the object of transfer. Amendments to the terms of Article 1of the Law of Ukraine «On State Regulation of Technology Transfer Activities».

Effective deployment of a technology in an environment is the desire of many system developers. Positive uptake of a technology coupled with user acceptance is deemed as a key indicator towards technology acceptance. Knowledge is weighed as a strategic resource for any successful data driven decision making initiative. Institutions leverage on technological initiatives and tools to drive knowledge management (KM) initiatives that enhance quality service delivery and prudent data management. These initiatives provide the overall strategy for managing data resources. They make available knowledge organization tools and techniques while enabling regular updates. Derived benefits of positive deployment of a technological intervention are competency enhancement through gained knowledge, raised quality of service and promotion of healthy development of e-commerce. Successful and timely adoption of technological interventions through which knowledge management initiatives are deployed remains a key challenge to many organizations. This paper proposes the application of a wholesome multilevel technology acceptance management model towards effective technology deployment. The proposed model takes into account human, technological and organizational variables, which exist in a deployment environment. This model will be vital in driving early technology acceptance prediction and timely deployment of mitigation measures to deploy technological interventions successfully.
