Abstract

This paper recognizes the obstacles and methods in Transfer of Technology (TOT) in the biopharma industry of Iran. The aim of this research is to investigate an appropriate pattern for technology transfer in the industry. The results of the data analysis reveal that inappropriate monitoring of systems and decision making, inadequate support of intellectual property rights, lack of management stability and cultural problems based on the priorities are the most predominant in TOT among the factors known. The findings indicate that most companies do not follow a particular model of technology transfer. The study demonstrates that the technology transfer process is incomplete and proposes an appropriate pattern for technology transfer in the biopharma industry in Iran.
