Item 13: Trademarks

Information relating to the registration status and legal validity of the franchise system’s trademarks, as well as the franchisee’s rights for and restrictions on using those trademarks. Because granting franchisees a license to use the franchise system’s trademarks is a fundamental and essentially definitional component of the franchise relationship, Item 13 is designed to provide prospective franchisees with sufficient information to determine the value of the trademark license granted under the franchise agreement.
