The Perpetual License Agreement is designed for situations where a permanent transfer of usage rights is required while maintaining the original ownership of intellectual property. This document is particularly relevant in the Belgian legal context, where it must comply with both national civil law and EU regulations. It is commonly used for software licensing, technology transfers, patent licensing, and other intellectual property arrangements where the licensee requires permanent usage rights. The agreement includes essential provisions for license scope, usage restrictions, warranties, and limited termination rights, while ensuring compliance with Belgian contract law principles and relevant EU directives. This type of agreement is distinct from term-based licenses as it grants permanent rights, making it crucial to carefully define the scope and conditions of the license to protect both parties' long-term interests.
