Abstract: This paper explores the legal controversies and regulatory issues of forced technology transfer (FTT) in international trade, analyzing its stipulations under international law, the balance between intellectual property protection and technology transfer obligations, interpretations of relevant provisions in WTO and other international agreements, and the differences and conflicts in China's legal definitions of technology transfer. Through empirical analyses of WTO dispute cases such as DS603, DS611, and DS615, the study reveals the complexity and diversity of technology transfer in international trade, and proposes specific measures and recommendations for building a fair legal framework for technology transfer. These measures aim to strengthen intellectual property protection while promoting the free flow and development of technology, providing a balanced legal solution for technology circulation in international trade.
