Are there any restrictions on the transfer of technology from Chinese companies?

Yes, there are restrictions on the transfer of technology from Chinese companies when entering the New York market. In order to protect the intellectual property of New York’s businesses, as well as to promote healthy competition, the “China Business Ventures Law” has been enacted. Under this law, any Chinese technology transfer into the New York market must be fair and equitable in both terms of cost and technology sharing. The law also stipulates that companies that receive Chinese technology must enter into an agreement with the Chinese business partner preventing the unauthorized transfer, manufacture, or sale of the technology outside of the U.S. This agreement must also ensure that the technology remains exclusively used within the U.S. and that the Chinese business partner is not in any way liable for any infringement. Additionally, when receiving technology from Chinese companies, the law imposes restrictions on those businesses who may ultimately use the technology, ensuring that it does not benefit competitors of the Chinese business partner. Finally, all Chinese companies wishing to transfer technology into New York must first obtain a license from the U.S. Patent Office, authorizing the transfer. Thus, while there is nothing preventing Chinese companies from transferring technology into the New York market, there are restrictions in place to protect the rights of U.S. companies. The China Business Ventures Law ensures that the transfer is done fairly and protects the interests of New York businesses.
