The standard linear model of technology transfer was disclosed. The tasks providing development of the enterprises and organizations on the basis of scientific and technical progress were justified. The stages of evolution of technology transfer models were systematized. The general principles of the implementation of technology transfer were disclosed. It was proved that the technology transfer model is largely connected with the choice of the commercialization method, which is an integral part of creating a new product or modifying an existing product with the aim of entering the market, and in turn, making a profit. It was revealed that the main signs of achievement the maturity stage by the innovation system are: the formation of the innovative products market; the transformation of intellectual property into one of the most significant elements of economic assets; the development of integration processes, that have innovation orientation; the formation of innovative management as a modern management concept; the transformation of innovation into the main catalyst for investment; the activation of scientific and technological and innovation policies.
