Franchise: An agreement, whether written or oral, for consideration, by which a person permits the distribution of goods or services under his trademark, service mark or tradename, during which time the grantor retains control over others or renders significant assistance to others. (This definition is substantially that of the Federal Trade Commission. See the Final Interpretive Guides, Federal Register, Vol. 44, No 166, Friday, August 24, 1979, p. 49.966 et.seg.) Counsel should also research definitions in controlled jurisdictions, applicable case law and formal and informal opinions rendered by State and Federal regulatory authorities.
