Document background
The Master License Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for businesses seeking to license their intellectual property, technology, or proprietary assets in India. This document is essential when establishing long-term licensing relationships, particularly in technology-intensive sectors where ongoing access to proprietary systems, software, or content is required. The agreement must comply with Indian legal requirements while incorporating international licensing standards and practices. It typically includes detailed provisions for license scope, usage rights, territorial restrictions, fees, technical specifications, and compliance requirements. The Master License structure allows for multiple sub-agreements or statements of work to be executed under its umbrella, providing flexibility while maintaining consistent overarching terms.
