Document background
The Master Use License Agreement is a foundational document used in Hong Kong to establish a comprehensive framework for licensing relationships between parties. It is particularly relevant when a licensor needs to grant usage rights for software, intellectual property, content, or technology to multiple licensees or for multiple products under a single governing agreement. The document incorporates Hong Kong's specific legal requirements, including compliance with the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) and Contract Law (Cap. 26). It typically includes detailed sections on license scope, usage restrictions, fees, intellectual property rights, warranties, and liability provisions, with the flexibility to add product-specific terms through schedules. This type of agreement is commonly used for long-term licensing relationships and can accommodate various licensing models, from simple single-product licenses to complex multi-product arrangements.
