Irrevocable License Template for Pakistan

This document is essential when parties seek to establish a permanent and unchangeable licensing arrangement under Pakistani law. An Irrevocable License is particularly crucial in situations requiring long-term certainty in business relationships, such as technology transfers, manufacturing rights, or intellectual property usage. The document comprehensively addresses grant of rights, payment terms, quality control, and compliance with Pakistani legislation, including the Contract Act 1872, Copyright Ordinance 1962, and Patents Ordinance 2000. It's commonly used in scenarios where the Licensee needs guaranteed continued access to critical intellectual property or assets, often involving significant investment or business dependency. The irrevocable nature of the license provides security for the Licensee while ensuring proper compensation and control mechanisms for the Licensor.
