2. Documentation
• Documentation is the process of communicating in written form about of
essential fact or the maintenance of continuous history of event over a
period of time.
• The documentation needed for the technology transfer.
• Some of documents associated to technology transfer are as follows
1. Confidentiality Agreement
2. Licensing
3. MOU
4. Legal Issues
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER RELATED DOCUMENTS
 Confidentiality Agreement
Confidentiality Agreement is a secrete document and its also known as
Non-disclosure agreement.

3. It is used to protect the proprietary nature of the technology
and retain the confidentiality of a technology or invention.
The drafting of appropriate clauses can be essential for the
maintenance of the value of the technology.
The need of this agreement is due to the increase in
competition and the new technologies can be explained.
 Licensing
Technology licensing is a contractual arrangement in which the
licensor’s intellectual property (IP) such as, patent, trademark,
service marks, copyrights, trade secrete or other intellectual
property may be transferred to a licensee for a specified period
of time.

4. A Technology Transfer agreement may be:
A. Exclusive
B. Non-Exclusive
1. Exclusive Licensing
The licensing has an exclusive right to use
the IP, as per the terms of the licensing agreement. This
agreement is such that even the licensor is not allowed to use
the licensed asset for the duration as specified by the license
agreement. An exclusive license may be issued on either a
territorial basis (for instance, India only) or on a global basis
(for the entire world).
2. Non-Exclusive Licensing
In non-exclusive licensing, the licensor
may license out their assets to multiple licensees at the same

5. time. Unlike an exclusive license, all licensees are permitted to use
the license as per the terms of the license agreement. The licensors
are also free to use the assets that they licensed to others.
Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)
Memorandum of Understanding is
Negotiated agreement and contract public sector enterprise (CPSE).
MOU is an agreement between two or more parties outlined in a
formal document. It is not legally binding but signals the
willingness of the parties to move forward with a contract
An MOU is an expression of agreement to proceed. It
indicates that the parties have reached an understanding and are
moving forward. Although it is not legally binding, it is a serious
declaration that a contract is imminent.
Although an MOU is not legally binding, it allows parties to
prepare for singing a contract by explaining the broad concepts and

6. expectation of their agreement. Communicating in clear terms what
each party hopes to gain from an agreement can be essential to the
smooth execution of signing a legal contract in the future.
Legal Issue
The legal aspect of technology transfer has dual character.
Generally, such an agreement is contract ruled by the law of
contract.
• Understanding of institutional framework.(Confusion between
Sending Unit & Receiving Unit)
• Commercial strategy and the Law. (sometimes laws was
changed after period of time its affect the strategy )
• Organization and support. (Sometimes advisors are changed
during technology transferring documents)
• Intellectual property issue arise
