Lawyer Sued by Wedding Planning Firm over Trademark Licensing Dispute

Case Overview

After a wedding planning business brokerage was prevented from fully expanding due to their license-granted operating status, they filed suit against their lawyers in Maine. Believing that they had been advised to pursue a license which restricted them from forming a franchise, the founders were unable to fully expand and allow new branches of their business to use their specific trademarks and process patents. The attorneys, meanwhile, contended that the business had decided to use their specific license after being properly advised, necessitating a corporate expert to comment on the situation.
