Implied-in-Fact Contract Selchow Richter Company (S R) owns the trademark to the famous board game Scrabble. Mark Landsberg wrote a book on strategy for winning at Scrabble and contracted S R to request permission to use the Scrabble trademark. In response, S R requested a copy of Landsberg's manuscript, which he provided. After prolonged negotiations between the parties regarding the possibility of S R's publication of the manuscript broke off, S R brought out its own Scrabble strategy book. No express contract was ever entered into between Landsberg and S R. Landsberg sued S R for damages for breach of an implied contract. Is there an implied-in-fact contract between the parties? Landsberg v. Selchow Richter Company , 802 F.2d 1193, Web 1986 U.S. App. Lexis 32453 (United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit)
