Notes
The registration of company names under the Corporations Act 2001 is administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) (see Part 2B.6 entitled 'Names' of the Act).
Volume 1, Section 9 defines, inter alia, the term “franchise”, which reads: “'Franchise means an arrangement under which a person earns profits or income by exploiting a right, conferred by the owner of the right, to use a trade mark or design or other intellectual property or the goodwill attached to it in connection with the supply of goods or services. An arrangement is not a franchise if the person engages the owner of the right, or an associate of the owner, to exploit the right on the person’s behalf.'
