New Technology Transfer Regimes: A Fresh Chapter for The UK and The EU

Sarwenaz Kiani, a partner in the Vorys Berlin office and a member of the Vorys eControl group, authored an article for PLC Magazine, titled “New technology transfer regimes: a fresh chapter for the UK and the EU.”

The article explores the significant practical implications of the new UK and revised EU technology transfer frameworks that took effect on May 1, 2026.  Kiani explains how businesses striking deals to license patents, know-how, software and other technology rights in the UK and the EU must navigate overhauled competition rules set out in the UK’s Competition Act 1998 (Technology Transfer Agreements Block Exemption) Order 2026 (SI 2026/369) and the EU’s revised Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (2026/877/EU).
