It is important for a prospective Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchisee to understand the trademarks that they are licensed to use. The FDD specifies that franchisees must operate, advertise, and promote their franchised business only under the Marks. This means that franchisees are required to use the registered trademarks in their business operations and marketing efforts. They must also identify themselves as an independent franchisee operating under the authority of the franchise agreement in all dealings with customers, employees, and other parties.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchisees are also responsible for protecting the trademarks. They must notify the franchisor of any unauthorized use of the trademarks that they suspect or have knowledge of. Additionally, franchisees must not contest the franchisor's rights to the trademarks or assist any third party in doing so. The franchisor has the exclusive right to initiate and control any litigation relating to the trademarks.
As a franchisee, you are granted a non-exclusive license to use the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing marks, but this does not impart any ownership of the marks. The franchisor retains the right to replace, add to, modify, or discontinue any of the marks, and franchisees are responsible for the costs of compliance with any changes. Therefore, it is crucial for potential franchisees to carefully review the terms and conditions related to trademark usage in the Franchise Agreement and Operations Manual.
