Are there any presently effective determinations of any court regarding the B Bops trademarks?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are no presently effective determinations from any court regarding the company's trademarks. The document states that there are no current determinations from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, or any state trademark administrator. Additionally, there are no pending infringement, opposition, or cancellation proceedings, nor any material litigation involving the Licensed Marks relevant to their use in any state.

This statement provides assurance to potential B Bops franchisees that the trademarks are not currently subject to any adverse legal rulings or disputes. This reduces the risk that a franchisee's use of the B Bops trademarks could be disrupted by legal action. It also suggests that B Bops actively monitors and protects its trademarks.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that this statement reflects the situation at the time the FDD was issued. While the absence of current legal issues is positive, it does not guarantee that trademark disputes will not arise in the future. Franchisees are obligated under the Franchise Agreement to immediately notify B Bops in writing of any challenge to their use of the Licensed Marks, any claim by a third party to rights in any of the Licensed Marks, or any apparent infringement of the Licensed Marks that comes to their attention. B Bops has absolute discretion in taking action on such notifications and will bear the expenses of any resulting investigations or legal actions.

Overall, the lack of current legal determinations regarding the B Bops trademarks is a favorable sign for potential franchisees. However, franchisees should remain vigilant and promptly report any potential trademark issues to B Bops to ensure the continued protection of the brand and their investment.
