We consider the space JmkM of k-jets of m-dimensional submanifolds of a smooth manifold M. Our purpose is to show that every contact transformation of JmkM, k ≥ 2, is induced by a diffeomorphism of M (point transformations). It is also derived that a first order contact transformation can not be globally prolonged to higher order jets except when it is a point transformation. This holds true as well for jets of sections of a regular projection. The Legendre transformation gives us an example of this property.
