Document background
The Manufacturing And Distribution License Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish authorized manufacturing operations and distribution channels in Belgium and potentially other territories. This agreement is typically used when a technology or brand owner wants to authorize a third party to both manufacture and distribute their products, ensuring quality control and market consistency. It combines manufacturing licenses (including technical specifications, quality standards, and production rights) with distribution terms (covering sales territories, minimum purchases, and marketing requirements). The agreement must comply with Belgian law and EU regulations, particularly regarding competition law, intellectual property protection, and product liability. It's commonly used in situations where separating manufacturing and distribution would be impractical or inefficient, providing a unified framework for the entire commercial relationship.
