INTRODUCTION
It is a process which is mainly concerned with the transfer of
technology from the research areas to the “Production and
Quality Assurance” environment .
The Process by which existing knowledge , facilities or
capabilities developed under R & D funding are utilized
to fulfill public and private need.
“Technology Transfer” includes a range of formal &
informal cooperation between technology developers
and technology seekers.

TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY
1) EMERGING TECHNOLOGY- is an innovative technology
that currently is undergoing bench scale testing, in which a
small version of the technology is tested in a laboratory.
2) INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY- is a technology that has
been field tested and applied to a hazardous waste problem at
a site, but lack a long history of full-scale use.
3) ESTABLISHED TECHNOLOGY- is a technology for
which cost and performance information is readily only after
a technology has been used at many different sites and the
result fully documented is that technology considered.
established.

Proper Research – By proper research we mean firstly that in
which the result are reproducible and issues such as scale up,
stability etc and other practical now has been addressed, also that
in which problem were taken up in first place.
Proper work- This refer to institutional and guidelines regarding
IP Protection licensing modalities etc. which must be in place
beforehand. In the absence of these, decision get delayed, lack of
fairness in decision e.g. case of X institute, which came up with
good technology but since no guidance were there, kept running
around for two years and then gave up.

Pricing – most difficult and critical area of Transfer of
technology.
- Too high price can put off buyer, leaving the technology
unsold.
- Too price a result in revenue loss.
- There are basically two model regarding pricing
1) Price charged for a technology should depend upon
market force i.e. impact of the technology irrespective of
amount spent on developing it.
2) Price charged should include all expenses involved in
developing it.
Publicity – It is important to identify and then approach
buyer i.e. adopt targeted Publicity and not blanket publicity.
Specific journal, website, letters to manufacturer, personal
selective visit etc. are some common approach which help in
locating buyer.

Partnership – this means working along with industry.
Industry takes it up, manufacturer and makes available to
society. Partnership are important to ensure your
technology is successfully adopted simply conveying the
details may not be sufficient.
People’s Acceptance – It is no use trying to develop a
technology which people will not accept e.g. due to religious
reason/social concern etc. genetically modified food,
irradiated vegetables processed beef in India, improved
capsule made of non-vegetarian material.

FUNCTION OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
TEAM
1) Coordinate- Coordinating between technology users and
developer, between researcher and manufacturers is important
element of technology transfer.
2) Nurture- A main ingredient for moving technology from a
research laboratory to a new business enterprises successfully
in an environment that is supportive for entrepreneurship.
3) LINK- Cataloging resources related to business enterprises &
connecting would be entrepreneurship / researcher and other
technology developers to outside group & organization which
can help in the process of starting new product, companies etc.
such linkage provide referrals for individual business
counseling, sources of financing.

A Novel, Non-infringing Process for the
manufacture of levobupivacaine
NIPER, mohali offer a non-infringing process for the
manufacturer of an improved widely used local anesthetic,
levobupivacaine.
The process uses a chiral catalyst for asymmetric
synthesis of the product.
Area of Application
Local anesthetic product widely used in hospital in
surgical procedure.
