Download or read book International Franchise Trademark Registration written by Robert W. Emerson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the rise in number of international units operated by U.S. franchisors has outpaced domestic growth. As the trend toward globalization accelerates, franchise owners must determine the most effective methods to protect their intellectual property rights wherever they do business. The authors thus develop an empirical framework to analyze the choices of international franchise networks and to improve the regulatory regimes that all trans-border trademark holders encounter.The two most prominent multi-filing applications are the European Union Trademark system (formerly known as the European Community Trademark system) and the Madrid Protocol system. In consideration of the two systems, the authors weigh the marginal costs and benefits of each trademark registration system and examine some of the factors that influence how and why franchisors pursue the different systems. In addition, the authors assess some of the factors that contribute to a country's decision to accept or reject a franchisor's trademark registration application through the Madrid Protocol system. Finally, the authors explore the implications for franchise law.

Download or read book International Trademark Licensing written by Stojan Arnerstål and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, firms use licensing to exploit and commercialize trademarks internationally. In a globalized market, the free flow of goods and services by means of licensing requires detailed knowledge of national legal provisions and principles that apply to agreements of this type. This chapter-by-chapter comparative overview on the law and application of trademark licensing worldwide – including chapters on such key commercial jurisdictions as the EU Member States, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, and Japan – is written by a team of experienced and distinguished attorneys, each representing a particular country. Each contributor describes and analyses legal challenges and offers practical guidance on licensing issues in his or her national jurisdiction. Within this framework, each chapter discusses such issues and topics as the following: country-specific regulations on trademark licensing; particular legal requirements to be complied with prior to entering into a license agreement; antitrust legislation affecting the scope of a license agreement; breach of a trademark licensing agreement; circumstances under which a breach of contract also constitutes a trademark infringement; permitted extent of non-compete or non-challenge clauses; licensee’s standing to sue third parties for trademark infringement; effect of invalidation or expiry of the licensed trademark on the agreement; and licensee’s right to claim entitlement to goodwill in the trademark, or a right to compensation, for investments made in the trademark. Because of the broad range and variety of countries covered, the book will be welcomed by legal practitioners dealing or coming into contact with trademark licensing in practically any jurisdiction. Taken together, the chapters provide invaluable insights into the similarities and differences among the covered jurisdictions, helping trademark holders and their counsel to understand the particulars of a specific market and deciding whether to enter it or not. It will also be valuable as a comprehensive resource for academic researchers or policymakers interested in the international harmonization of intellectual property licensing law.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While franchising promotes economic and social welfare objectives, Elizabeth Crawford Spencer argues that monitoring and regulation are needed to address potential areas of abuse of the form that can result in costly market inefficiencies. This unique study surveys franchise-specific legislation worldwide as a starting point for a thorough examination and analysis of the role of both private and public regulation of the sector in the context of current theoretical approaches to regulating contractual relationships.
