| Abstract | Suppose your client is a successful operator of a fast-food restaurant under an agreement with a franchisor that is on the verge of bankruptcy. The franchisor's trademarks-currently licensed to your client under the agreement, along with rights to use various secret cooking processes and marketing techniques-likely will be the major assets in the bankruptcy proceeding.
