What is a Basic Licensing Agreement?

The Basic Licensing Agreement serves as a fundamental legal instrument for businesses and individuals operating in Australia who wish to grant or receive rights to use intellectual property, technology, or other proprietary assets.

The agreement is structured to comply with Australian federal and state laws, including the Copyright Act 1968, Patents Act 1990, and Trade Marks Act 1995, as well as relevant common law principles. It provides comprehensive coverage of key aspects such as scope of license, payment terms, quality control, and termination rights, while remaining adaptable to various industries and use cases.
