Getting the Deal Through - Licensing 2012

16/03/2012

Are there any restrictions on the establishment of a business entity by a foreign licensor or a joint venture involving a foreign licensor and are there any restrictions against a foreign licensor entering into a licence agreement without establishing a subsidiary or branch office? Whether or not any such restrictions exist, is there any filing or regulatory review process required before a foreign licensor can establish a business entity or joint venture in your jurisdiction?

According to article 16 of the Civil Code’s preliminary provisions, subject to the provisions contained in special laws, foreigners enjoy the civil rights attributed to citizens on condition of reciprocity.
