Perpetual Licence Agreement

"I need a Perpetual Licence Agreement for licensing our proprietary software to a manufacturing company in Leeds, with specific provisions for technical support and source code escrow arrangements, to be effective from March 2025."

Document background
The Perpetual Licence Agreement is designed for situations where permanent usage rights need to be granted without transferring ownership of the intellectual property. This document is commonly used in England and Wales for software licensing, technology transfers, and other IP arrangements where the licensor wishes to maintain ownership while giving the licensee permanent usage rights. The agreement typically includes detailed terms about usage scope, maintenance, support, fees, and compliance with relevant regulations. It provides a comprehensive framework for managing long-term licensing relationships while protecting both parties' interests under English law.
