A Patent Cross License agreement is essential when two companies possess patent portfolios that each party needs to access for their business operations. This document type is particularly relevant in technology-intensive industries where patent rights frequently overlap. Under Belgian law, the agreement must comply with both national IP legislation (Belgian Code of Economic Law - Book XI) and EU competition regulations. The document typically includes detailed schedules of licensed patents, technical fields, and any financial arrangements. It's commonly used to resolve potential patent disputes, facilitate technology access, and create strategic partnerships. The agreement should carefully consider Belgian contract law requirements for enforceability while ensuring compliance with EU competition law regarding technology transfer agreements.
