The Trade License Agreement is a crucial commercial document used when a business entity wishes to grant another party the right to use its trade rights, intellectual property, or commercial assets within Belgium or specified territories. This agreement type is essential for businesses expanding their market presence through licensed operations while maintaining control over their commercial rights. The document must comply with Belgian commercial law, including the Code of Economic Law (Code de droit économique/Wetboek van economisch recht), and where applicable, EU regulations. It typically includes comprehensive provisions covering license scope, quality standards, financial terms, and compliance requirements. The agreement is particularly relevant for international trade relationships where Belgian law is chosen as the governing law, ensuring proper protection of commercial interests while facilitating business expansion through licensed operations.
