Description

Any business entity that is controlled or under the control of a company.

Examples

Definition: "Affiliate" means, in the case of either Party, any corporation, joint venture, or other business entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that Party. The term "control," as used in this definition, means having the power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" does not include entities in which a Party or its Affiliates owns a majority of the ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors but is restricted from electing such majority by contract or otherwise, until such time as such restrictions are no longer in effect. -- License and Supply agreement between Access and Wyeth, January 2004
