Has there been any determination by the trademark administrator of any state involving Beehive Homes trademarks?

According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there has been no determination by the patent office, any state's trademark administrator, or any court regarding Beehive Homes' trademarks, service marks, trade names, logo types, or other commercial symbols. Additionally, there are no pending interferences, oppositions, cancellation proceedings, or material pending litigation involving these trademarks. This indicates that Beehive Homes' trademarks are not currently subject to any legal challenges or disputes that could affect a franchisee's ability to use them.

Beehive Homes has registered the trademark "Bee Hive Homes®" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Reg. No. 4,663,072) and has renewed the trademark. The trademark is also registered in the state of Utah. Beehive Homes grants franchisees a nonexclusive right to operate a home under the "Bee Hive Homes" name, as available on a state-by-state basis. Franchisees must use the names, marks, logos, and symbols in compliance with Beehive Homes' rules and cannot use any licensed name or mark as part of their corporate name, though they may use "Bee Hive Homes" as part of an assumed name with prior written consent.

While Beehive Homes has the right to defend claims, demands, or suits related to the use of trademarks, they are not obligated to protect franchisees against such claims, including those related to infringement or unfair competition. Franchisees have the right to protect themselves at their own cost if Beehive Homes chooses not to. If Beehive Homes decides to modify or discontinue the use of any names and marks, franchisees must comply, and Beehive Homes will reimburse tangible costs for changing signs and printed matter. There are no known infringing uses that could materially affect a franchisee's use of the trademarks. This suggests that while franchisees are granted the right to use the trademarks, they also bear some responsibility for protecting their use of those trademarks, and should budget accordingly.
