Document background
The Manufacturing License Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to authorize third parties to manufacture products using their proprietary technology or processes under Belgian law. This document is particularly relevant when a technology owner wants to expand manufacturing capabilities without direct investment in production facilities. It establishes the legal framework for the manufacturing relationship, including detailed technical specifications, quality standards, and commercial terms. The agreement must comply with Belgian and EU regulations, particularly regarding competition law, intellectual property protection, and industry-specific requirements. It's commonly used in scenarios where companies want to leverage local manufacturing capabilities, expand production capacity, or enter new markets while maintaining control over their intellectual property and product quality. The document typically includes comprehensive provisions for technology transfer, quality control procedures, and ongoing technical support.
