Plan released for effective enforcement of amended Law on Technology Transfer

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Chí Dũng has signed Decision No. 269/QD-TTg, dated February 12, 2026, promulgating the Implementation Plan for the Law amending and supplementing several articles of the Law on Technology Transfer (the Plan).

Under the Plan, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) is tasked with leading and coordinating with the Ministry of Justice, the Government Office, and relevant ministries, agencies, and localities to draft and issue a Decree detailing the implementation of several articles of Law on Technology Transfer No. 07/2017/QH13 and the amended Law No. 115/2025/QH15. This draft is scheduled for submission within February 2026.

MoST, along with other ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government-attached agencies, and the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities, will review and systematize legal documents related to the Law within their respective state management scopes. These authorities are required to amend, supplement, replace, or abolish existing documents—or issue new ones—to ensure full compliance with the Law and its detailing regulations.

The implementation timeline will align with the roadmap following the issuance of the Decree detailing the Law on Technology Transfer (No. 07/2017/QH13) and the amended Law (No. 115/2025/QH15) to ensure synchronized enforcement.

Based on their assigned functions and duties, MoST and relevant local and central authorities will provide regular guidance on applying the legal documents that detail the Law's implementation.

Furthermore, these agencies will be responsible for receiving and processing feedback and proposals from organizations and individuals during the implementation process. They are also tasked with reviewing, evaluating, and updating relevant database systems.

Based on the Plan’s contents and practical local conditions, the assigned ministries, sectors, and localities are responsible for integrating this implementation plan into their general programs and reporting the results to the Prime Minister as regulated.
