Document background
A Cross Licensing Agreement is essential when two organizations wish to leverage each other's intellectual property portfolios for mutual benefit. This document, structured under Swiss law, is particularly valuable in technology-intensive industries where companies hold complementary IP rights. It's commonly used to resolve patent disputes, enable technology sharing, or facilitate product development while avoiding potential infringement issues. The agreement covers detailed specifications of licensed IP, terms of use, territorial scope, and compliance with Swiss federal regulations including patent law, competition law, and international private law provisions. This type of agreement is particularly relevant in situations where companies need to navigate complex patent landscapes or wish to establish strategic technology partnerships.
