Document background
The Manufacturing And Distribution License Agreement is a crucial document used when a company wishes to authorize another entity to both manufacture and distribute its products in India. This dual-purpose agreement is particularly important in the Indian market, where manufacturing and distribution often need to be closely integrated due to regulatory requirements and market conditions. The agreement must comply with various Indian laws including the Contract Act, Patents Act, and Industry Regulations. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for manufacturing standards, quality control, distribution territories, royalty structures, and intellectual property protection. This type of agreement is commonly used for business expansion, market entry strategies, or when companies want to leverage local manufacturing capabilities while maintaining control over their intellectual property and brand.
