Technology transfer is the process of transferring technology, know-how, and associated IP from one entity to another for the purpose of commercialization. It can take the form of an outright transfer, license, joint development, or technical collaboration.
Cross-border technology transfers must comply with FEMA regulations governing foreign exchange payments, RBI guidelines for royalty and lump-sum payments, and sector-specific approvals. Transfer pricing regulations also apply to inter-company transfers.
Ownership of improvements is determined by the technology transfer agreement. We typically negotiate improvement clauses that address sole improvements by each party and joint improvements, specifying ownership, license-back rights, and revenue sharing.
