What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago operates under the trademark "ANAGO" and various other trademarks. Anago grants its franchisees a license to use these trademarks to solicit and sell franchises, which includes licensing third parties the right to use the marks within their designated area. This license is granted under the terms and conditions outlined in the Subfranchise Rights Agreement, and also to solicit Client Accounts.
The FDD also specifies several registered trademarks owned or licensed by ACS or Anago. These include "Anago Cleaning Systems," "Our Mission: Our Franchisees. Their Success.," "The Superior Choice for Commercial Cleaning," "CleanCom," "Anago Protection+ Disinfection," "Disinfect. Protect. Maintain.," "Anago CleanSource," and "ELEVATE Your Cleaning Experience." These marks span different classes and registration dates, highlighting the range of branding elements Anago uses.
Anago subfranchisees must use the Proprietary Marks as the sole trade identification of their Anago Franchise. They must also identify their Anago Subfranchise Rights Business in the form Anago requires as the independent owner and operator of the Anago Franchise. Franchisees are prohibited from using any Proprietary Marks in the sale of any unauthorized product or service or in any manner Anago has not explicitly authorized. Subfranchisees cannot register or use any domain name or URL that contains, uses, or displays the words "Anago Cleaning Systems" or any portion thereof, or the initials "ACS," "AFI," or any Proprietary Marks, without Anago's written consent.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that their rights to use these trademarks are derived solely from the Subfranchise Rights Agreement. Any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Property, including the Proprietary Marks, constitutes a breach of the agreement and an infringement of Anago's and ACS's rights. Franchisees must also promptly notify Anago of any claims of infringement or challenges to their right to use the Proprietary Property.
