Abstract
In today’s world, technology and access to it are among the most critical drivers of economic development and its use is becoming more advanced every day. A country’s economic growth is largely dependent on its technological progress, and technology transfer serves as a structured process aimed at deploying technological components in a location different from their origin. This process is a key step in the industrialization of countries. Unlike in the past, intellectual creations now hold significant economic value and serve as a primary means of financial support for their creators. Intellectual property protection mechanisms play a crucial role in facilitating the transfer of technology in international trade. This article examines the legal aspects of intellectual property rights in relation to technology transfer, with a focus on developed countries.
