Letter from the Gama World
by Denis B. Barbosa
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 10, No. 2/3, 1995

Abstract: This paper argues that an international system of patenting is needed to protect countries interests in high technology. It discusses the aims of the 'new economic order' and attempts to discriminate positively in favour of under-developed countries. Proposals for sharing technology by active intervention are outlined and the problems associated with technology transfer discussed. Changing attitudes of the OECD countries, led by the USA, are attributed to globalization of the world market, leading to legal uniformity. Finally, the paper predicts that developed countries will increasingly concentrate on lighter industries and will require a more efficient international legal structure.
