Technology Transfer Agreement

Technology Transfer Agreement is a contract that governs the transfer or licensing of technology, know-how, patents, software, or research results from one party to another, often including terms on ownership, improvements, confidentiality, and commercialization obligations. In university spinouts and corporate partnerships, a Technology Transfer Agreement is central to IP rights and value creation, and Technology Transfer Agreement restrictions (like field-of-use limits or consent requirements) are key diligence items for investors and acquirers.
