Abstract
The socialist countries have become actively involved in the international exchange of technology, particularly with respect to the sale and purchase of licenses, since the mid-1960s. The last decade has witnessed the appearance of new important factors in East-West transfer of technology aiming at amelioration of legal, institutional and economic mechanisms of this process and at improving its efficiency. There is a growing trend to combine licensing with purchasing and leasing of appropriate research and technological equipment, ‘turnkey’ plants, and complete sets of machinery.
