Document background
The Master Licence agreement is used when parties wish to establish a comprehensive framework for multiple licensing arrangements under English and Welsh law. It provides the foundational terms for subsequent specific licences, reducing the need to negotiate complete agreements for each new licensing relationship. This document typically includes provisions for intellectual property rights, territorial restrictions, payment structures, quality control measures, and compliance requirements. The Master Licence is particularly useful for businesses managing multiple licensing relationships or planning to expand their licensing operations over time.
