Franchise disputes

Sometimes, franchise contracts are drafted in such a way that problems arise during their execution. If there is a dispute in a franchise relationship and one party plans to hold the other party accountable , such liability can be either contractual (according to the terms of the contract provided for in the event of violations) or non-contractual (according to the legislation of the Russian Federation).

1237 Note. According to article 1237 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the use of an object of intellectual property in a manner not provided for by the license contract, either upon termination of the contract, or otherwise outside the rights granted to the licensee under the contract, entails liability for violation of the exclusive right established by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, other laws, or the contract.
