Are there any effective determinations of the Copyright Office or any court regarding any of Amorino's copyrighted materials?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are currently no effective determinations from the Copyright Office (Library of Congress) or any court that pertain to Amorino's copyrighted materials. Additionally, there are no existing agreements that significantly restrict Amorino's ability to use or license its copyrighted materials. Amorino also states that they are not aware of any infringing uses or patent or copyright infringements that could materially affect a franchisee or their use of the copyrighted materials.

This statement provides some assurance to potential Amorino franchisees that the franchisor's intellectual property rights are not currently subject to any legal challenges or limitations. This reduces the risk that a franchisee's business operations could be disrupted by legal action related to copyright or patent infringement. It also suggests that Amorino has the freedom to license and utilize its copyrighted materials without significant external constraints.

However, it is important to note that this statement reflects the situation as of the FDD's publication date. Future legal challenges or agreements could potentially impact Amorino's intellectual property rights. While Amorino states they are not required by any agreement to protect or defend copyrights, franchisees should be aware that they are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of all information deemed confidential by Amorino, including trade secrets and elements of the franchise system.
