Document background
A Master Rights Agreement serves as the foundational document for complex intellectual property arrangements, particularly where multiple rights or territories are involved. This contract type is essential when establishing long-term licensing relationships or managing portfolios of intellectual property rights. Under English and Welsh law, it provides a robust framework for rights management, incorporating necessary protections and compliance with UK intellectual property legislation. The agreement typically covers usage rights, territorial restrictions, quality control measures, and financial arrangements, making it suitable for both domestic and international licensing relationships.
