Abstract
Technology can be acquired in different ways. It can be internally developed by R&D or discovery, it can be obtained by buying or otherwise acquiring an innovation resulting from R&D or discovery, during various stages of the innovation process, or after the technology has been largely perfected and approaches maturity. Methods of technology acquisition are quite diverse and include purchase, transfer, and licensing, which in turn may involve acquisition of knowledge, process, product, or right to use of the technology. Technology acquisition is complex because it combines efforts of protection of the rights of the owner and those of the acquirer.
