Insights: Events 'Dawn Donut Rule': A Guide for Expanding Franchises to Enforce Trademark Rights

Tuesday, June 20, 2023

ON24

In this session you will learn how trademark law and the “Dawn Donut Rule” established long ago by the Second Circuit work to assist a franchise trademark owner to enforce its  trademark rights against junior users of the same/similar marks in states where the franchise trademark owner has not yet expanded.  We will discuss the case law on this subject, as well as provide guidance on how to deal with state franchise regulators and the junior users when you seek to register or expand your franchise into a new state.

CLE Credit

MCLE Credit 

To meet MCLE regulators’ attendance verification requirements for sponsors, you will be required to:

  • Answer poll questions that appear on screen during the program;

  • Review your screen mode. Do not use full-screen mode to view or respond to poll questions; and

  • Use a supported browser which includes Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari (Mac).

MCLE credit approval is pending. Credit generally is submitted, or certificates issued, within 30 days of the course or post-program approval. CLE approval can take up to 90 days. 

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP will apply for CLE credit when eligible in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. For states not listed, a Certificate of Attendance that lawyers may use to claim credit based on reciprocity or self-apply for credit will be provided. 

To receive on-demand credit, viewers must use one of the recommended browsers which allows time stamps to be captured. We recommend you complete the program in one format only (live or on-demand) since many states do not allow attorneys to earn live and on-demand credit for the same program in the same compliance period. Virtual participation or on-demand credit is not eligible in PA.
