To speak more precisely, the first sale doctrines prevent the original seller from asserting intellectual property rights (copyright, patent, trademark) as a basis to prohibit resell. I was writing an internet comment, not a legal brief!

So then first sale has nothing to do with Doordash’s food delivery service right?

  • It's an obstacle to suing Doordash for trademark infringement, which is what you would typically do when someone is doing business in your name without your permission.
