Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze key changes introduced by the new Polish Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (BER) of 17 April 2015. A year earlier, on 21 March 2014, the European Commission adopted its own revised Technology Transfer BER as well as accompanying Guidelines. The article briefly discusses the scope and structure of the EU BER since the new Polish legislation is modeled on EU rules. The paper identifies also which factors should be considered in particular by undertakings entering into technology transfer agreements in light of the special characteristics of these markets. The Polish BER requires a thorough analysis and so the issues discussed in this article may help interested parties to assess whether their agreements satisfy the requirements of the Polish BER.
