Do you want use exclusive Intellectual Property rights for competitive advantage? Then acquiring a Franchise and becoming a Franchisee, may be the business model you were looking for.

A Franchise is a business model, that is substantially identical in process and operation to the original business but it is owned by independent third party operators, named Franchisees. The Franchisee does business using the marketing methods, trademarked, patented, and/or copyrighted goods and services, and the "goodwill" and name recognition developed by the Franchisor’s company. In exchange, the Franchisee pays an initial fee and royalties to the Franchisor.

Franchise Law is the area of law revolving around the right or license that is granted to an individual or group, Franchisee, to market a company's goods or services, Franchisor, in a particular territory under the company's trademark, trade name, or service mark and utilizing any applicable Intellectual Property rights of the Franchisor. 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. With today's globalization of economies, franchise law statutes require an international perspective.
