Abstract

Three countries, three universities, three structures at the service of Technology Transfer. Why write about Technology Transfer? Although the principle of territoriality is well known in Intellectual Property Law, Technology Transfer Offices are the bridge that makes it possible to connect countries around the world and share the common goal of generating social and economic impact in each region through different programmes. Argentina, Colombia and Italy, countries with different cultures, social and economic development, but which ultimately have one thing in common: Universities as vehicles for Technology Transfer, promoting the growth of small businesses, or technological development and technological innovation in their respective regions. Thus, the aim of this joint work is to illustrate how legal aid in these universities is influenced by the Intellectual Property rules governing each country.
