The object of this study is the existing regulatory approaches to determining the forms of technology transfer in the legal systems of economically developed countries of the world, international treaties, and agreements.
During the research and generalization of existing concepts, it was established that they are not unified and differ significantly from each other. It has been proven that this does not meet the needs of technology transfer participants and significantly destabilizes the technology transfer process. The expediency of improving the existing normative concept of determining the forms of technology transfer by fixing their single list has been substantiated. Recommendations on the list of the main forms of technology transfer have been formed based on a systematic analysis of legal acts that determine the peculiarities of the essence of technology. A classification of the main forms of technology transfer was proposed. Four main forms of technology transfer were identified as the transfer of rights to technology during its creation, within the framework of joint cooperation, within the framework of cooperation based on corporate and/or proprietary commercial principles. The expediency of dividing each form of transfer into separate subtypes was also substantiated. The need to make changes to the provisions of such international treaties and agreements as the World Trade Organization Agreements, the Recommendations of the World Organization for the Protection of Intellectual Property, the Oslo Guidelines, the UNCTAD Recommendations, and the framework program "Horizon Europe" has been proven.
The study is aimed at forming general theoretical foundations for improving the essence of regulatory techniques for identifying forms of technology transfer. The research results could be used in the formation of international normative acts, recommendations of international institutions, acts of national legislation, and serve as a basis for further scientific research into these issues
