Legal Protection for Technology Transfer Agreement

Abstract

As a developing country, Indonesia realizes that science and technology have an important role in accelerating its national economic development. In carrying out this matter, the handover of technology is started with a contract between the provider and recipient of technology. The contract could possibly be either commercial or non-commercial. Non-commercial contract is usually targeted to public interest and people in general, not for commercial one. Practically, the handover process of such non-commercial contract should go smoothly as expected. Different motivations on the provider’s side have profit orientation inbusiness marketing strategy.While the recipients have technological mastery orientations to make them independentfrom outsiders. The law protection effort for non commercial parties has pushed the country to formulate a regulation which limits and avoids the process.
