In the Green Aid Plan, the Japanese companies are responsible for design and manufacturing of key equipment, which caused the high cost of the whole set of equipment. One method to reduce cost is to maximize localization of the outcome of the GreenAid Plan in China. However, due to intellectual property rights, it is very difficult to rely solely on the Chinese side to distribute the developed technologies.

The second issue is that China does not have the capacity to manufacture some of the key technologies. In general, the technological standard of the Green Aid Plan projects is high. The Chinese either don’t have the manufacturing capability for key technologies, or the technological level of the entire industry is too low to adapt to new technologies. The country faces difficulty in receiving and redistributing transferred technologies and there is little chance for a free transfer of patented technologies.

The Role of the Government

The government plays a role in organizing, coordinating, and supporting through the process of technology transfer. To facilitate better technology assimilation, the government can organize the participation of multiple companies and research institutions into projects such as technology import and Intellectual Property Right (IPR) purchasing.

Experience

Technology transfer in the cement industry is a successful case because of the following factors: [...]
- The cost of technology transfer was low because the technology had already been developed and early developer’s R&D cost has already been recovered.
- Cement equipment requires a small amount of high technology components, and the rapid growth of China’s cement production enables increasing R&D investment, which continually helps to fill the technical gap.
- The government organizes the import of technology, supports technological assimilation, and financing IPR purchases by mobilizing the expertise in companies and research institutes.

Conclusion 3.2.3
[...]
The mechanism should help developing countries to establish a far‐reaching research system, which may both promote the transfer of technical patents and assist developing countries in improving research and innovation capacity.

“The Pirate Party advocates scaling back the patent system to promote small-scale innovation and development.

Kan man ana en tillnyktring från Falkvinges libertianska uppfattning?

Utan patentskydd mot illojal konkurrens vågar ingen satsa pengar på riskfylld, tidskrävande och dyr teknisk utveckling, såsom ofta är fallet för miljöteknik.

Ganska kul förresten att notera att ingen av de 9 referenserna förespråkar en avveckling av patentsystemet. Man måste ju få fram teknik för att kunna sprida den!
