International Technology Transfer Policies

“…For example, patent box incentives are designed to attract and retain foreign technology, as preferential tax treatment is offered on income from royalties, licensing and R&D capital gains. A more specific example of technology-related investment incentive can be found in Costa Rica's Free Zone Regime (not yet implemented), where IP holders of technology would be fiscally encouraged to establish presence in the country and dedicate 0.5% of their local sales to local R&D activities (Kowalski, Rabaioli and Vallejo, 2017). This category also includes incentives for building suppliers' capacity, using local facilities, employment of highly skilled local workforce or locating in the country, although these are less sensitive in the context of forced technology transfer.…”
