What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are granted the right to operate their facilities under specific registered service marks. These marks include "Baymont®" and "Baymont Inn & Suites®", often used in conjunction with the "by Wyndham" designation. The FDD lists several registered trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These include 'BAYMONT' registered on June 29, 1999, under registration number 2,258,085; 'BAYMONT INN' registered on October 12, 1999, under registration number 2,286,567 and January 11, 2000, under registration number 2,307,473; 'BAYMONT INN & SUITES' registered on July 19, 2011, under registration number 3,997,943; and 'BAYMONT BY WYNDHAM' registered on November 6, 2018, under registration number 5,603,330 and November 27, 2018, under registration number 5,619,141.
Baymont Inn Suites may also allow or require franchisees to use a secondary designation with the licensed mark for their specific facility. The franchisor retains the right to substitute or modify these marks if the current marks become unusable or if the franchisor believes a change would benefit the Baymont Inn Suites system. Franchisees may be required to discontinue or modify their use of existing marks at their own expense, or to adopt additional or substitute names and identifying symbols.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that their right to use these marks is derived solely from the Franchise Agreement and is contingent upon compliance with the agreement, as well as all specifications, standards, and operating procedures prescribed by Baymont Inn Suites. Unauthorized use of the marks constitutes an infringement of the franchisor's rights. Franchisees are also obligated to notify Baymont Inn Suites of any unauthorized use of the marks or any challenges to their use or ownership. Baymont Inn Suites maintains control over any legal proceedings involving the marks, including settlements, and is not obligated to share any settlement sums or damages awarded with the franchisee.
