Seeking a preliminary injunction

Article Abstract:

Preliminary injunctions are often sought by parties in a franchise suit but it is important to understand the procedural rules and plan the request carefully to gain the court's support. These injunctions also require a security against losses caused by the injunction if the suit comes out in favor of other party and so requests must be planned to minimize the harm to prevent the court posting an excessive potential harm bond. Temporary restraining orders may also be needed because of the time necessary to get a hearing to consider the preliminary injunction.

Copyright and the franchise

Article Abstract:

Franchises can be both positively and negatively affected by copyright law, and should be aware of their situation in regards to it. Any original expression, be it in words, a design, image or piece of software, can be copyrighted. This provides the franchisor with a means of protecting original ideas, but also provides numerous liabilities for the franchisor who does recognize the scope of copyrights. Scenarios are discussed.
