Summary
This case involves a potential breach of an implied contract under California law, where Taco Bell used a Chihuahua character in its marketing without compensating Wrench, LLC. Implied contracts are recognized by the conduct of the parties involved. Evidence such as communications and actions suggesting an agreement can strengthen the claim. Taco Bells rejection of Wrenchs terms did not equate to rejecting Wrenchs services, as the character was still promoted internally. Courts will assess the conduct and communications to determine if an implied contract existed. Consulting with an attorney is advisable to gather and present evidence effectively.Full Conversation
