significant move to reshape the UK&#8217;s post-Brexit regulatory landscape, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has recommended replacing the EU-era Assimilated Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (TTBER) with a new, UK-specific framework. This proposal aims to modernize competition rules, providing clearer guidelines for technology licensing agreements and fostering innovation and investment in the UK. (<a title=\"UK watchdog recommends new post-Brexit framework for tech licensing rules\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/boards-policy-regulation\/uk-watchdog-recommends-new-post-brexit-framework-tech-licensing-rules-2025-09-30\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_The_TTBER_and_Its_Role\"><\/span><strong>Background: The TTBER and Its Role<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The TTBER, retained in UK law after Brexit, currently allows companies to share and license technology\u2014such as patents, know-how, and software copyrights\u2014under certain conditions without breaching competition law. This regulation has facilitated technology transfer agreements that can benefit innovation, investment, and growth. However, some clauses within such agreements can also have negative effects on competition, prompting the need for a revised framework. (<a title=\"UK watchdog recommends replacing EU-era tech licensing ...\" href=\"https:\/\/iclg.com\/news\/23123-uk-watchdog-recommends-replacing-eu-era-tech-licensing-framework?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">ICLG Business Reports<\/a>)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_CMAs_Proposed_UK_Technology_Transfer_Block_Exemption_Order_TTBEO\"><\/span><strong>The CMA&#8217;s Proposed UK Technology Transfer Block Exemption Order (TTBEO)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CMA&#8217;s proposal introduces a 12-year UK-specific exemption order to replace the expiring TTBER. Key features of the proposed TTBEO include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Updated Definitions<\/strong>: Removal of outdated references like &#8220;utility models&#8221; and inclusion of newer rights such as database copyrights to align with UK law.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exemption Criteria<\/strong>: Agreements could qualify for exemption either by meeting existing market share thresholds or by demonstrating the presence of at least three competing technologies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transitional Period<\/strong>: A one-year transitional period following the expiry of the TTBER on 30 April 2026, during which existing agreements that meet the conditions of the TTBER will continue to benefit from its terms until 30 April 2027.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhanced CMA Powers<\/strong>: The CMA would have robust powers to investigate and, where appropriate, withdraw the benefit of the block exemption on a case-by-case basis.

None of the respondents recommended that the TTBER should be allowed to lapse without being replaced. Six respondents noted that doing so would create a &#8220;negative impact.&#8221; While the respondents praised the TTBER for working &#8220;well overall,&#8221; they suggested various changes for consideration in the proposal of the replacement block exemption order.
