For more than 20 years, all major European governments have put biotechnology as a priority on their innovation policy agendas. How did each of the three big countries – France, the UK and Germany – manage their biotechnology policy, and what results have they achieved? A project funded by the European Commission tried to find out by assessing, over the period 1994–2001, the development of the knowledge base, patent activities, technology transfer measures, regulatory policy, industry promotion measure and public opinion. By adding data from other sources, the author presents a dynamic picture of each country's policy and development up to 2003.

The multidisciplinary field of climate law and justice needs to address the topic of intellectual property, climate finance, and technology transfer to ensure effective global action on climate change. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 1992 (UNFCCC) established a foundation for the development, application and diffusion of low-carbon technologies. Against this background, it is useful to analyse how the Paris Agreement 2015 deals with the subject of intellectual property, technology transfer, and climate change. While there was discussion of a number of options for intellectual property and climate change, the final Paris Agreement 2015 contains no text on intellectual property. There is text, though, on technology transfer. The Paris Agreement 2015 relies upon technology networks and alliances in order to promote the diffusion and dissemination of green technologies. In order to achieve technology transfer, there has been an effort to rely on a number of formal technology networks, alliances, and public–private partnerships—including the UNFCCC Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN); the World Intellectual Property Organization’s WIPO GREEN; Mission Innovation; the Breakthrough Energy Coalition; and the International Solar Alliance. There have been grand hopes and ambitions in respect of these collaborative and co-operative ventures. However, there have also been significant challenges in terms of funding, support, and operation. In a case of innovation policy pluralism, there also seems to be a significant level of overlap and duplication between the diverse international initiatives. There have been concerns about whether such technology networks are effective, efficient, adaptable, and accountable. There is a need to better align intellectual property, innovation policy, and technology transfer in order to achieve access to clean energy and climate justice under the framework of the Paris Agreement 2015. At a conceptual level, philosophical discussions about climate justice should be grounded in pragmatic considerations about intellectual property and technology transfer. An intellectual property mechanism is necessary to provide for research, development, and deployment of clean technologies. There is a need to ensure that the technology mechanism of the Paris Agreement 2015 can enable the research, development, and diffusion of clean technologies at a scale to address the global challenges of climate change.

This research aims to analyze whether Intellectual Property assets of Federal Institutes (FIs) in Northeast Brazil are being measured, accounted for and evidenced in Financial Statements (FSs) of these Scientific, Technological and Innovation Institutions (STIIs).Therefore, in order to achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographic, exploratory, and descriptive research was carried out. This survey was achieved through a qualitative approach from document analysis and collection of secondary data related to innovation policies of FIs, and valuation and accounting of IP assets. The results showed that patent registrations granted and Technology Transfer (TT) are still incipient, although the majority of the Technological Innovation Nuclei (NITs) of Northeast FIs have innovation policies that support intellectual protection of inventions. Even though there are Brazilian Accounting Standards (NBCs) that uphold the process of measuring, recording and disclosing of IP assets, such as NBC TG 04 (R4, 2017a) and NBC TSP 08 (CFC, 2017b), this result can also be due to an absence of structured and guiding procedures within the scope of NITs’ innovation policies.

Rapid development of modern areas of biomedical science contributes to the increase of the implementation rate, of innovative products and services in medicine, in particular, clinical oncology. The purpose of the article is the comparative analysis of the experience of R&D results commercialization in biomedical sector of the developed countries and Ukraine. The study uses methods of structural and logical analysis and comparative content analysis. Commercialization fits the inventor interests in using intellectual property, provides its implementation, and reveals commercial advantages to continue scientific and innovative activity. Society is interested in successful commercialization and technology transfer in biomedical field that increase competitiveness level of health system. Such activity stimulates scientists to develop innovative products. In foreign countries, legal and organizational mechanisms have been created that stimulate of investment activities for conducting research in the biomedical science at universities and scientific institutions. The development of links in the field of commercialization of R&D results has become a priority of the innovation policy of many countries, and public-private partnerships are an effective tool for its implementation, as evidenced by the rising of national budgets, legislative initiatives and the development of new programs. The analysis of the foreign experience of technology transfer of medical and biological R&D results allows to highlight several points: the financial support of research institutes and universities is considered as an important function of the state; public financing of projects in the field of medicine and biology is carried out within a quite long period of time (often not less than10 years), and the purchase of equipment is not a central item of expenditures; assessment of the productivity of researchers is complemented by evaluating the performance of the departments responsible for research management and funding; quantitative indicators of research unit results are supplemented by expert assessments of the quality of research, effectiveness and safety of medical developments based on new knowledge and achievements of scientific and technological progress. Conclusion. In Ukraine, despite certain difficulties in recent years, the high scientific potential in the field of biomedical sciences provides an increase of the number of high-tech innovative scientific and technological developments. Taking into account the low innovative activity of scientific institutions and universities, commercialization requires a systematic state approach, the development of strategies, specific mechanisms, methods and forms

Abstract Issues of innovation and technology transfer are framed by a broad legislation and financial schemes at the European and national level. In context of the strategy Europe 2020 and the initiative Innovation Union, the mutual interconnection between the new knowledge creation and its economic valuation is important for competitiveness of the economy. Innovation systems are characterized by a large scale of different actors and dynamic interactions between them. The intensity of the innovation activity of enterprises is mostly influenced by the level of their legal awareness and by the ability to utilize the innovation mechanisms and opportunities for transfer of knowledge, modern technologies and practices. The paper characterizes selected legal and financial mechanisms and points out the possibilities and problems related to their implementation in economic sphere, particularly in the agrifood sector. At the beginning, the authors describe the key aspects of the innovation policy and technology transfer in the EU and Slovakia. Next parts of the paper are focused on the issue of legal institutes concerning the industrial property and on the financial instruments for the period 2014-2020 emphasizing the innovative ones and possibilities of their combination. In the final part, the authors point out the barriers and possibilities in innovation implementation and in the process of transfer of technologies and knowledge to economic sphere.

Abstract China has long struggled to make science and technology useful for industry. One essential element in overcoming this problem is vigorous knowledge infrastructure development. This article focuses on the most salient outcomes of recent organization-building initiatives in Guangdong: the ‘New R&D Institutes’ (NRDIs). We employ a process tracing approach including a mix of methods to systematically study NRDIs, and we examine the ways in which these institutes extend, and improve upon, previous Chinese approaches to technology transfer. We observe a flexible approach that engages a wide range of intra-regional and extra-regional knowledge actors and allows for the emergence of a variety of technology transfer models—including models that are better adapted to the local setting than those discussed in the literature. The article contributes to fragmentary knowledge on the role of technology transfer in China and to the literature on innovation policy in peripheral manufacturing regions.

The chapter addresses the question of how universities respond to regional policy, and in particular, the ways in which academics are motivated and encouraged by regional development policies. The chapter specifically asks whether entrepreneurial universities create frameworks which allow university actors to positively contribute to collective development activities (such as clusters or technology transfer networks) by building new kinds of regional institutions. The chapter uses examples from three universities that all seek to be actively regionally engaged. This chapter identifies the factors that both encourage but also discourage these individual actors and notes that ongoing connections between individual academics and regional partners are critical to ensuring this constructive collaboration. The chapter contends that regional innovation policy should devote more resources to building these critical links.

Problem setting. There are many theoretical and applied developments in the world on the optimal mechanisms for technology transfer and commercialization of innovations. All of them are relevant and deserve attention in a particular case. All of them include such elements as the developer and customer of the technology, the innovative product, the system of relations between the parties to the technological agreement, government regulation. Accordingly, choosing the method of commercialization or form of technology transfer has various economic and legal consequences. Target of research. The purpose of this article is to study the analysis of systematization of types and organizational forms of technology transfer technology transfer. Аnalysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of classification of types, forms of technology transfer and features of technology transfer agreements have been revealed in the research of many scientists. V. N. Shcheblikin and A. C. Ershov argued that the forms of technology transfer should include, in particular, vertical and horizontal. But most scientists consider them as types of technology transfer, such as O. O. Plakhotnik and V. Ya. Shoemaker. The latter in his article identified that the forms and types of technology transfer should be separated by providing a meaningful classification of species. He noted only the main points regarding the forms of technology transfer. Problematic issues of contractual aspects of technology transfer were revealed in the study of B. M. Paduchak on the classification of agreements in the field of technology transfer and significant issues of these agreements, V. M. Kryzhna, who drew attention to the terms of the agreement on the transfer of know-how, Yu. S. Panina, separated the franchise agreement from the agreement on the transfer of know-how. V. D. Mekheda noted the peculiarities of the engineering contract and Y. M. Kapitsa, who noted that an engineering contract can be concluded in the field of technology transfer. Article’s main body. Technology transfer can be considered in two main forms: as a process of technology transfer without concluding an agreement between the subjects of the innovation process (information transfer); as a process of technology transfer from one entity to another under the terms of a contract concluded between them at the legal level. If we interpret the term “form”, it is a type, structure, way of organizing something; the external manifestation of a phenomenon associated with its essence, content. Hence, the form of technology transfer should be interpreted, in particular, as a way of organization. Thus, vertical and horizontal; corporate, regional, national and transnational (international) technology transfer; commercial and non-commercial technology transfer are types of technology transfer. In our opinion, organizational or commercial forms of international and domestic transfer should be defined as: purchase and sale of licenses in circulation in the technology market (economic and legal basis of this is a patent as a security document, license agreement (or license); transfer of scientific development on the basis of franchising, transfer of scientific development on the basis of know-how agreement, transfer of scientific development on the basis of leasing, transfer of scientific development on the basis of engineering, transfer of property rights to technologies and their components in exchange of scientific and technical results. Conclusions and prospects for the development. In essence, according to certain categories, the following typesof technology transfer are distinguished, such as: depending on the type of technology transfer, there are vertical andhorizontal technology transfer; depending on the types of innovation policy there are: corporate, regional, national andtransnational (international) technology transfer; by means of technology transfer or by commercial nature or economiccontent, technology transfer is divided into commercial and non-commercial. Based on the fact that the organizational forms of technology transfer systematized by groups, we conclude that thefirst group of forms should include those based on agreements related to the process of technology transfer, ie the implementationof property rights to technology: purchase and sale of licenses in circulation in the technology market (licenseagreement (or license); transfer of scientific developments on the basis of franchising (franchising agreement); transferof scientific developments on the basis of know-how agreement (know-how agreement). The second group should include those forms that are based on contracts, the main purpose of which is not related tothe implementation of property rights to technology, namely: the transfer of scientific developments on the basis of leasing(leasing agreement); transfer of scientific developments on the basis of engineering (engineering contract); transferof property rights to technologies and their components in the exchange of scientific and technical results on the basis ofthe activities of joint ventures (agreement on joint activities) (simple partnership agreement).
