TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Philippine Technology Transfer Act of 2009
 Republic Act No. 10055, entitled "An Act Providing the Framework and
Support System for the Ownership, Management, Use, and
Commercialization of Intellectual Property Generated from Research and
Development Funded by Government and for Other Purposes.

CONCEPT OF TRANSFER
The aim of the transfer of a specific technology is to enable the receiver to
use it in the same conditions and with the same benefits as the provider, for
the purpose of technological innovation. In fact, to speak of transfer implies
that there is an agreement reached by consensus (license, project, personnel
recruitment...) between the provider and the receiver of the technology for
this purpose.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
It is a process which is mainly concerned with the transfer of technology
from the research areas to the “Production and Quality Assurance”
environment. The Process by which existing knowledge, facilities or
capabilities developed under R & D funding are utilized to fulfill public and
private need. “Technology Transfer” includes a range of formal & informal
cooperation between technology developers and technology seekers.
