[A brand] used by a manufacturer or distributor for the purpose of combatting competitive brands, to drive them out of the market. For example, a manufacturer may introduce a new brand of canned food in a local market at a very low price, and continue to sell it until a local competitive brand has been eliminated. At this point, the fighting brand is withdrawn and replaced by one of the manufacturer's regular brands, at the regular price. 3, record 1, English, - fighting%20brand

The franchise is only one form among many of the commercial concession, and its originality lies more in the terminology used by the parties than in the structure and purpose of the franchise contract. Commercial concessions in the form of distribution agreements are developed as energetically as franchises in fields where the manufacturer's products have distinctive brand names. Like franchise holders, distributors are given exclusive rights of distribution for a specific product or range of products, and undertake the same obligations to promote the products and to attain specified sales targets. In return distributors, like franchise holders, receive assistance from the manufacturer in organising sales and accompanying services, including technical "know how". The idea that a distributor should have an exclusive territory for the sale of the manufacturer's products is characteristic of commercial concessions, rather than franchises, but this idea has lately tended to give way to the more flexible concept of the distributor's zone of principal responsibility. As in the case of the franchise, this refers not so much to a particular geographical area as to the customers who are to be attracted to buying the products in question. 1, record 10, English, - commercial%20concession

[Un] deuxième moyen juridique de monopoliser une clientèle en éliminant toute concurrence est constitué par les accords d'exclusivité au sens large. Tantôt il s'agira d'un producteur qui fera prendre l'engagement à certains clients de s'approvisionner en marchandises déterminées exclusivement chez lui, il s'agit alors d'une exclusivité d'approvisionnement. Tantôt au contraire le producteur assurera à certains commerçants l'exclusivité de distribution de produits ou services sur un territoire déterminé, on sera alors en présence d'une exclusivité de distribution [...]. [L'exclusivité de distribution] permet à un commerçant d'éliminer la concurrence, mais il s'agit cette fois du distributeur d'un produit ou d'un service, qui se voit accorder par le titulaire de la marque une exclusivité territoriale, qui l'assure, dans ce secteur, d'un certain monopole sur la clientèle.
