Abstract
Technology transfer has long been a important policy issue in the United States. During the Cold War, the focus was on preventing the transfer of military significant technologies. With the end of the Cold War, however, the main issues have shifted from the military to the commercial. This, in turn, has two sides: concern about the unwanted transfer of commercially valuable technology to global competitors and the desire to more effectively utilize technology developed within the U.S. by government-funded programs. This paper addresses the latter of these two points.
