The Evaluation License Agreement is essential for organizations in India seeking to protect their intellectual property while allowing potential customers or partners to assess their products or technology. This agreement type is commonly used when a company needs to provide temporary access to its proprietary software, technology, or products for evaluation purposes before a potential purchase or partnership. The document includes specific provisions aligned with Indian legal requirements, covering evaluation period, usage restrictions, confidentiality obligations, and liability limitations. It serves as a crucial risk management tool, particularly important in the Indian market where IP protection needs to be balanced with business development opportunities. The agreement typically precedes commercial licensing or purchase agreements and helps organizations maintain control over their intellectual property during the evaluation phase.
