McCarter & English: Trademark Licensee Protected After License Rejection by Debtor in Bankruptcy
09/17/2012
In Sunbeam Products, Inc. v. Chicago American Manufacturing, 2012 WL 2687939 (7th Cir. July 9, 2012), the Seventh Circuit granted a significant victory to a licensee of trademarks owned by a debtor in bankruptcy. The opinion puts trademark licensees in a similar position as holders of patents and copyright licenses whose rights were expressly protected under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event a debtor rejected their intellectual property licenses. Because trademark licenses were not expressly included under Section 365(n), some bankruptcy courts have held that a licensee looses its right to the use of the license after a contract is rejected during a bankruptcy case. Sunbeam may change the legal landscape for trademark licensees in a significant way.
