Re: My Buisness

Your posting is unclear, but if someone is using a business name to which you hold intellectual property rights, you may demand that they cease and desist such usage. Regarding the lease, your employee may have bound your company depending on the situation, i.e. he/she may have had apparent authority to sign the lease for the company.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
