Isn't this exactly the kind of thing trademark laws is supposed to cover?
I'm pretty sure that if you tried to resell food at scale from a major fast food franchise without proper licensing, you would get sued.
- enragedcacti 6y agoThe major fast food franchises aren't the people this law is protecting, its Joe Blow's Pizza Shack that can't afford a lawsuit against Doordash.
- toast0 6y agoTrademark law could prevent me from pretending to be the restaurant. If they had a defensible trademark and time and money to litigate. It doesn't really prevent me from acting as a middle man. I'd need to be careful about using their trademarks and making it clear that I'm not connected. The concept of first sale certainly applies, although health code makes it complex. There's also the concept of the right to refuse service.
