What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees receive a non-exclusive license to use the company's trademarks. This license allows them to operate a Beyond Juicery Eatery Restaurant utilizing the system and trademarks within a defined geographic area, as determined by Beyond Juicery Eatery. However, this right is subject to several conditions and limitations.

Beyond Juicery Eatery retains significant control over the trademarks. The franchisee acknowledges that Beyond Juicery Eatery IP, LLC owns all rights to the trademarks and the associated goodwill. Franchisees cannot contest the ownership or validity of the trademarks, nor can they acquire any ownership interest in them, beyond the limited license granted. All goodwill arising from the franchisee's use of the trademarks accrues exclusively to Beyond Juicery Eatery IP, LLC. Beyond Juicery Eatery also retains the right to grant other licenses, develop other concepts using the trademarks, and engage in the production, distribution, and sale of products and services under the trademarks.

Furthermore, the franchisee's use of the trademarks is restricted in several ways. They cannot assign or encumber their rights to use the trademarks, nor can they use the trademarks as part of their corporate or other name. Franchisees must comply with Beyond Juicery Eatery's instructions regarding trade name or fictitious name registrations. They are also obligated to notify Beyond Juicery Eatery of any infringement or challenges to the use of the trademarks and must cooperate in protecting the company's rights. Franchisees are prohibited from registering or attempting to control any trademarks that resemble Beyond Juicery Eatery's trademarks. These stipulations are typical in franchising, as the franchisor needs to protect its brand identity, but franchisees should be aware of these limitations.
