For example, in cases dating back nearly 100 years, courts allowed shop rights to pass from a corporation to the successor of its entire business and good will. (See McKinnon Chain Co. vs. American Chain Co., Inc., M.D. Pa 1919; see also Neon Signal Devices Inc. v. Alpha Claude Neon Corp., W.D. Pa 1932.) In contrast, an opinion issued earlier this year, a court in Massachusetts declined to extend shop rights to an entity that purchased the original shop right holder’s assets in a bankruptcy proceeding. (See U.S. Solartech v. J-Fiber GmbH, D. Mass 2013.)
