In the 1977 edition of the License Trade Manual for Developing Countries, the World Intellectual Property Organization defines technology as: "Technology is the systematic knowledge of manufacturing products, processes adopted or services provided, regardless of whether this knowledge is reflected in inventions, shape designs, utility models or new plant varieties, or reflected in technical information or skills, or designed by experts. This is by far the most comprehensive and complete definition of technology in the world. The World Intellectual Property Organization defines all scientific knowledge that can bring economic benefits in the world as technology.
