FRANCHISING
Franchise Law revolves around the right or license that is granted to an individual or group to market a company's goods or services in a particular territory under the franchising company’s company's trademark, trade name, or service mark.
A franchise is a retail outlet owned by independent, third party operators through which a company distributes its products or services. The independent operator does business using the marketing methods, trademarked goods and services and the goodwill and name recognition developed by the company. In exchange, the independent operator pays an initial fee and royalties to the owner of the franchise.
Franchising in the United States is governed by federal law administered by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and by a variety of state statutes. Franchise laws differ greatly from state to state.
