Did the Chinese Bayh-Dole Act encourage the activities of technology transfer? An answer from a legal system. Issue 2 (4th May 2021) - Zhu, Cong
ABSTRACT: Technology transfer law plays an important role in promoting technology transfer. There is a sound technology transfer legal system in the United States, which makes a huge impact on many other countries, including China. As the main body of technology transfer, the functions and responsibilities of national scientific research institutions in China and the United States are very similar, but the efficiency of technology transfer between them is hugely divergent. Based on patent data, this study compares the efficiency of each section in the technology transfer process, and analyzes the reasons for the efficiency difference from the perspective of technology transfer legislation in the two countries.
