Abstract

This study's object is the system of regulatory, management methods and techniques for determining the location and purpose of technologies within Ukraine and the EU, as well as and their comparison. The directions, methods, and techniques to unify regulatory regulation of technologies in Ukraine with EU law have been investigated.

By analyzing and generalizing the regulation of technology transfer in Ukraine and the EU, its inconsistency with each other has been established. It has been determined that such inconsistency is due to the heterogeneity of approaches to identifying technology transfer in the EU. It has been proven that the unification of technology transfer regulation in Ukraine with EU requirements should be systemic and holistic.

The following directions for the unification of technology transfer regulation in Ukraine have been substantiated: systemic, functional, infrastructural, auxiliary. The need to implement the provisions of the WIPO recommendations, the TRIPS Agreement, the Horizon Europe Framework Agreement, the promising European Innovation Act, and others into the regulatory acts of Ukraine has been proven. The need to amend the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer” has been substantiated.

The study is aimed at forming general theoretical foundations for improving management and regulatory approaches to technology transfer in Ukraine. The results could be used to improve public rules for technology transfer, form strategic public management decisions, state technology policy, and serve as a basis for further scientific research on these issues. The conclusions drawn in the course of this study could be applied to address issues and problems related to improving the current legislation of Ukraine to the requirements of international agreements and documents
