| dc.description.abstract | When the delegate of Brazil to the United Nations introduced a draft resolution in the second committee of the U.N. General Assembly on titled – “The role of patents in the Trans for of technology to developing countries”, in November 1961, one of the vital questions relating to underdevelopment of third world countries was put in motion. The debate that followed both in and outside the United Nations hassled to open confrontation between the developed and developing countries. The history of technological development is traced from the industrial Revolution which brought a rapid change in technology. Particular emphasis is placed on patents and Trademarks as instruments of encouraging the development of technology before the industrial Revolution and as instruments of suppressing technology for competitive purposes after the Industrial Revolution because of the appearance after the Industrial Revolution because of the appearance of monopoly competition. Various multilateral strategies were adopted to protect technology among the capitalist countries themselves and the developing countries did not participate in these as they were still under colonial rule. 4t independence, developed countries through the multinational corporations still maintained control over the economy of the developing countries, through legal agreements such as Management and Consultancy Agreements, Patents, Joint Ventures and Technical Assistance. The developed countries claim that they transfer technology for development through these means and the developing countries are challenging the truth of such a claims. This dissertation carries that challenge further in examining the above forms which are supposed to be instruments of technological transfer in reference to Tanzania, to arrive at the conclusion that they are instruments of exploitation of developing countries rather than vehicle of technological transfer. | en_US |
