Abstract

Design & engineering capabilities is important both from the perspective of new product development & from the perspective of learning & knowledge transfer. policy to enhance the licensing capacity of technology is considered an important part of national industrial policy. This research question is what policy model is appropriate for the promotion of technology licensors in Iran. For this purpose, a qualitative research strategy based on semi-structured interviews has been used to collect the required data & analyze its content.
