What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the trademark 'BAMBŪ' is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The registration number for the 'BAMBŪ' mark is Reg. No. 5,321,756, with a registration date of October 31, 2017. This registration provides Bambu with legal rights and protections for the trademark.
Bambu also uses other unregistered trademarks and service marks for its shoppes. However, these unregistered marks do not have the same legal benefits as federally registered trademarks. If the right to use these unregistered trademarks is challenged, franchisees may be required to change to an alternative trademark, potentially increasing their expenses.
As a Bambu franchisee, it is important to use the 'BAMBŪ' mark as the principal identification of your shoppe and to identify yourself as an independent owner. Franchisees must not use any marks or words that are confusingly similar to the registered marks without written authorization from Bambu. Additionally, franchisees are required to inform Bambu immediately of any potential infringement or confusingly similar use of the marks by other parties.
