What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide information on whether The Company sold its trademark for Beard Papas, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document defines "Licensed Marks" as the trademarks, service marks, emblems, and indicia of origin, including the "Beard Papa's" trademark and logo, it does not specify if the company has sold these marks to another entity. The document also includes definitions for terms like "Copyrights", "Intellectual Property", and "Know-How", which are related to brand assets, but it does not state whether these have been sold. A prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor directly about the ownership and any past or planned transfers of the Beard Papas trademarks.
