Technology Transfer Dialogue 1 We're considering buying the patent.
Do you plan to transfer the patent right to Chinese companies?
Yes, we are thinking the same.
In what form will you transfer the patent?
We'd like to transfer the right to use the patent in the form of license.
Will the license be exclusive or non-exclusive?
Non-exclusive.
And I'd like to know how much tax the Chinese government imposes for using patent rights.
20%.
But the license only gives one the right to manufacture the equipment.
What about the technology not included in the patent?
Don't worry.
We'll provide you with all the information and also five technicians needed to manufacture the equipment.
Okay.
How long will you allow us to use the patent?
Three years.
How much will you ask for?
$50,000 as initial payment and 3% of the sales price on each product sold.
The price is so high.
I'm afraid that we cannot accept that.
Dialogue 2.
Are you interested in transferring your trademark to us?
You mean the commercial franchising?
Kind of, but only for the trademark, not include trade name and the business model.
I see.
You name your products after mine.
Right.
Does that mean we have to provide you with the full information about the technology of our products?
That won't be necessary as we have the capability to produce the product.
But you also need to send specialists to give us on-the-spot guidance.
We'll consider it.
