After the termination or expiration of the Anago Franchise Agreement, how many days do I have to provide evidence of compliance with the obligation to cancel any fictitious business name registration that contains Anago's proprietary marks?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a subfranchisor has 30 days after the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement to provide evidence of compliance with the obligation to cancel any fictitious, trade, or assumed name registration that contains the name "Anago" or any other proprietary mark. This obligation ensures that the subfranchisor ceases using Anago's brand name and trademarks after the agreement ends.

If the subfranchisor fails to provide evidence of compliance within the 30-day period, Anago is appointed as the subfranchisor's attorney-in-fact to cancel the registration on their behalf. This means Anago can take legal action to ensure the cancellation is completed, further protecting its brand and trademarks.

This requirement is in place to prevent confusion in the marketplace and to protect Anago's brand identity. By ensuring that former subfranchisors promptly discontinue using the Anago name, the company maintains control over its brand and prevents unauthorized use of its proprietary marks. This is a standard practice in franchising to safeguard the franchisor's intellectual property and maintain consistency across the franchise system.
