Apstrakt

U radu se analiziraju predložene izmene u nacrtu nove uredbe o grupnom izuzeću sporazuma o transferu tehnologije u poređenju sa važećom TTBER 316/2014, sa posebnim osvrtom na pragove tržišnih udela ugovornih strana i produženi prelazni period („grace period“). Metodologija obuhvata kritičku analizu predloženih normativnih rešenja i poređenje sa važećom uredbom i doktrinom u oblasti transfera tehnologije i prava konkurencije EU. Rezultati pokazuju da zadržavanje nominalnih pragova tržišnih udela ograničava mogućnosti praktične primene grupnog izuzeća i povećava zavisnost od postupka samoprocene. Produženi grace period, s druge strane, doprinosi većoj stabilnosti primene izuzeća u uslovima privremenih tržišnih kolebanja.
