Intellectual Property and Innovation Process under Goal 17 of Sustainable Development

This paper presents a conceptual discussion focused on the basic vision of science and technology, which is the primary purpose and reference framework of the produced United Nations’ documents and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. The most important intention and the objective of these documents is the technology transfer, which carries a risk of not recognizing other technological options—such as eco-technology—and the limited role representing science and innovation in the achievement of these Sustainable Development Goals. We focused on the broader aspects of international patent law approaches that approximate to incentives of technological transfer and innovation process. This article contributes to the theoretical overview of patent law in the application process of intellectual property use in the international context. In conclusion, we discussed, according to the literature review, the possibility of maintaining the environment by considering technological transfer and innovation process as solutions for world disasters. Sustainable development goals are proposed for the same prevention, which should be clear for every country in the world.
