Franchisor continues to develop, use and control the Marks for its benefit and use and for the benefit and use of its franchisees.

Franchisor may seek to obtain state and federal trademark or service mark registrations for any or all of the Marks. There can be no assurance that any such registrations will be granted. There may be similar trademarks or service marks, either registered or not, that are owned by third parties. These third parties may have rights in their trademarks or service marks that are superior to Franchisor's rights in the Marks. This could restrict Franchisor's ability to expand the franchise system into certain geographic areas. Franchisor makes no representations concerning the possible rights of such third parties. Franchisor advises Franchisee to investigate and satisfy itself as to the status of the Marks and the potential rights of third parties prior to entering into this Agreement.

What This Means (2023 FDD)
According to the 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document, Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv retains control and benefits from the use of its Marks, which include names, logos, and commercial symbols associated with the brand. The FDD specifies that Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv continues to develop, use, and control the Marks for its own benefit and the benefit of its franchisees. These Marks serve to identify the source of the products and services offered and represent the brand's standards of quality. Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv may also seek trademark or service mark registrations for these Marks. However, there is no guarantee that these registrations will be granted, and third parties may have superior rights to similar trademarks, potentially restricting Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv's ability to expand into certain areas.
Any goodwill associated with the Marks, even if arising from the franchisee's activities, accrues directly and exclusively to Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv, unless otherwise provided by law. The franchisee appoints Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv as their agent to amend or cancel any registered user or business name filings related to the Marks. Franchisees are restricted from using the Marks on products or services from unapproved sources, except for those prepared according to the Operations Manual and Licensed Methods.
Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv also retains significant rights regarding the Marks and Licensed Methods. They can use and license others to use the Marks and Licensed Methods outside the franchisee's territory. They can also use other trademarks or methods for similar services or products, and even operate or franchise competitive businesses. This means that while franchisees are granted the right to operate under the Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv brand within their territory, the franchisor maintains broad control over the Marks and methods, and can leverage them in various ways to expand the brand's reach and offerings, potentially outside the scope of individual franchise agreements.
