1. What is technology transfer?

According to Clause 7 Article 2 of the Law on Technology Transfer 2017, technology transfer refers to the transfer of the ownership or the right to use a given technology from the party that has the right to transfer such technology to the transferee.

In which, technology transfer includes:

- Domestic technology transfer refers to the transfer of technology which is made within the territory of Vietnam.

- Transfer of technology from foreign countries to Vietnam refers to the transfer of a given technology across border to Vietnam.

- Transfer of technology from Vietnam to foreign countries refers to the transfer of a given technology which is developed within the territory of Vietnam across border to a foreign country.
