For a prospective franchisee, this information is crucial because it defines the scope of trademark protection Bhc has secured. It clarifies what products and services are legally associated with the Bhc brand. As a franchisee, you are granted a non-exclusive right to use these trademarks in connection with your Master Franchise Business. However, Bhc Korea owns the trademarks and licenses them to Bhc, who then sublicenses them to franchisees in the United States.
It is important to note that the license to use the marks is non-exclusive, meaning Bhc can grant other licenses for the use of the marks. Bhc also retains the right to develop other systems using the marks or other names and marks, and to grant licenses or franchises in those systems without providing any rights to the franchisee. Furthermore, Bhc can engage in the production, distribution, and sale of products and services using the marks. Franchisees must use reasonable efforts to protect the IP Rights, including the Marks, by promptly notifying Bhc of any known or suspected infringement.
