Frequently Asked Questions about Technology Transfer
How do I protect my IP when transferring technology to China?▼
IP protection starts before you share anything. Register patents and trademarks in China early – the Chinese system applies the "first to file" principle. Use selective disclosure: share only the minimum needed for cooperation. Contractual protection clauses must withstand Chinese law. AsiaLink guides you through all these steps.
What are the biggest risks in technology transfer to Asia?▼
The main risks are IP loss through imitation or contract breach, know-how drain through partner personnel changes, lack of quality control, and cultural misunderstandings. We analyze these risks specifically for your technology and target market.
Is technology transfer worthwhile for smaller companies?▼
Yes – often more so than for large corporations. Smaller companies can generate significant revenues in Asia through licensing without building their own presence. The key is the right partner selection and a watertight license agreement.
Can you also help with technology imports from Asia?▼
Yes. AsiaLink also facilitates the reverse: integrating Asian technologies into European companies and markets.
