What mandatory provision regarding governing law must be in a license?
Every voluntary license contract must state that the laws of the Philippines shall govern its interpretation. In case of litigation, the venue must be the proper court where the licensee has its principal office. This ensures legal disputes are handled within the local jurisdiction and framework. This requirement is cited in Section 88 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. “88.1. That the laws of the Philippines shall govern the interpretation of the same and in the event of litigation, the venue shall be the proper court in the place where the licensee has its principal office;” January 3, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
