This year’s Survey period contains decisions favorable to franchisors, franchisees, and third parties associated with franchised businesses on disputes involving intellectual property rights, enforceability of forum selection clauses, the essential elements of common law and statutory claims, and remedies available to franchise parties involved in litigation, among other issues.
