Applicability of the Presumption of Irreparable
Harm After eBay 3
RONALD T. COLEMAN JR., TRISHANDA L. TREADWELL,
AND ELIZABETH LOYD
Surprisingly, six years after the Supreme Court's landmark
decision in eBay, Inc v. MercExchange, LLC, lower federal
courts continue to grapple with its scope and applicability
Does the eBay rationale apply beyond patent cases?
Should it apply to preliminary injunctive relief as well as
permanent injunctions? The answers often depend on the
court hearing the case.
Controlling the Personal Habits of
Franchisees Within and Outside the
Franchise Environment Is
KEVIN BATIK AND JAMIE EDWARDS
How much control do franchisors have over the nonwork
lives of their franchisees and its employees? Not much,
warn the authors, who-after review of applicable federal
and state law-advise franchisors to tread [very] carefully.
Unless the franchisee's activities are illegal or directly harm
the franchise system, franchisors can't do much about them.
The Enforceability and Applicability of a Statute
of Limitations in Arbitration 26
CRAIG P. MILLER AND LAURA DANYSH
Franchise agreements often contain arbitration clauses
that identify the forum for resolving future disputes. But
they rarely contain language specifying which state statute
of limitations, if any, will apply. The absence of such lan-
guage may lead to a court or arbitrator ruling that statutes
of limitations do not apply to the dispute at issue.

DANIELLE M. KAYS
The author presents an update of recent electronic discov-
ery decisions and explores the differences among and
within the various federal circuits concerning the level of
culpability of a party necessary to impose sanctions in dis-
putes over electronic discovery. She also looks at some of
the e-discovery issues that litigants should consider.
Unclaimed Property:An Ancient Concept
Creating Modern Liabilities 41
DIANE GREEN-KELLY
As states look for more sources of revenue to fill budget
shortfalls, franchisors and franchisees alike can expect
stepped-up enforcement of unclaimed property laws,
which include gift cards and other forms of intangible
property. The consequences of noncompliance are steep.
