When was the trademark, which comprises Anago's intangible asset, purchased?

The 2025 Anago Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state when Anago purchased its trademarks. However, the document does define "Proprietary Marks" as the trade name and logo "Anago" and all other trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos and commercial symbols presently owned or licensed by Franchisor or its Affiliates or later acquired or adopted by Franchisor or its Affiliates as part of the System.

Because the FDD lacks the specific purchase date of Anago's trademarks, prospective franchisees should directly ask the franchisor for this information. Understanding the history and ownership of the trademarks is crucial for assessing the stability and long-term value of the franchise.

Specifically, a potential franchisee should request documentation or clarification regarding when the trademarks were initially acquired, if they were developed internally or purchased from a third party, and any associated agreements or legal filings that confirm ownership and usage rights. This due diligence will help ensure that the franchisee is investing in a brand with secure and established intellectual property rights.
