Exemptions and Prohibitions in the New Franchise Rule
May 31, 2007

The New Rule retains the exemption for franchise sales under $500, fractional franchises, and leased departments, while adding an exemption for petroleum marketers governed by the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, as well as for three categories of 'sophisticated investor.'
No Proration of Lessors' Payments in Bankruptcy
May 30, 2007
On March 15, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the 'Third Circuit') issued an important decision regarding the rights of equipment lessors who find themselves ensnarled in court proceedings as a result of a lessee's filing for bankruptcy protection. <i>In Re: Federal-Mogul Global Inc v. Computer Sales International</i> considered whether two lower courts properly modified an equipment lease under 11 U.S.C. '365(d)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code ' formerly codified at 11 U.S.C. '365(d)(10) ' by permitting proration of payment obligations as of the date of rejection of the leases. The Third Circuit reversed, holding that modification of the lease terms was improper.

The survey evidence, which showed that 96% of the defendant's customers used its products to perform a patented process, was admitted as evidence in support of a claim of inducement to infringe. The court admitted the survey into evidence over various objections by the defendant, who had argued that the inducement claim could not be proven without the survey.
