FRANCHISE & LICENSING

Franchise laws and business rules and laws govern franchising and licensing. The difference between franchising and licensing is important as noncompliance or disguising a business relationship can be devastatingly expensive with high legal ramifications. When considering franchising, license, or becoming a franchisee or licensee in California it is vitally important to have a civil attorney review the contract and the specifics of the entity.

Franchise & Licensing business is the practice of using another company’s successful business model. The franchisor grants the franchise the right to use the franchisor’s trademark, logo, trade name, proprietary processes and methods of doing business in exchange for free. Licensing involves granting permission to another party to use certain intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets in exchange for a royalty or fee. Our firm assists clients in negotiating, drafting, and implementing franchise licensing agreements. We provide advice on the legal business aspects and franchising and licensing , including the Federal Trade Commission’s franchise laws, state franchise laws, and other laws that may impact the franchise and licensing process. We also offer assistance in negotiating contract terms and conditions and resolving franchise disputes. In addition, we provide advice on trademark and copyright protection, confidentiality agreements, and other intellectual property matters.

A franchise agreement is a legal contract between a franchisor and a franchisee that outlines the terms and conditions of the franchise relationship, including the rights and obligations of both parties, the duration of the agreement, and the fees and royalties associated with the franchise. Our group provides legal advice and services to franchisees to ensure that they are compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, as well as to provide guidance on the best strategies for protecting their business interests.

Franchises, in particular, must ensure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and should seek advice from experienced legal counsel to ensure that their business operations are conducted in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, and to provide guidance on the best strategies for protecting their franchises’ business interests.

Franchise business laws:

• Franchisee obtains the right to operate a business identified or associated with the franchisor’s trademark, or to offer, sell, or distribute goods, services, or commodities identified or associated with the franchisor’s trademark
• Franchisor has significant authority, assistance, or control over the franchisee’s method of business operations
• Banking and finance tax

When considering whether to franchise or license a business, regardless of what you call it on paper, federal and California business laws and regulations make the final determination of what it is legally. Attorneys know this fact all too well. Entrepreneurs are more susceptible to making this costly mistake when not counseled by a top attorney.

Franchising Requirements:

• Selling a franchise requires Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDD), and must make it available to the seller 14 days before the sell
• The buyer can sign on the 15th day after delivery
• Significant control and/or assistance in the sale of a product or service
