Within how many days after termination or expiration of the Bojangles franchise agreement must the franchisee furnish evidence of cancellation of any assumed name containing a Bojangles Proprietary Mark?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must furnish evidence of cancellation of any assumed name or equivalent registration containing a Bojangles Proprietary Mark within thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement. This obligation ensures that the franchisee ceases using any names that could be confused with the Bojangles brand after the agreement ends.

This requirement is standard practice in franchising to protect the brand's trademarks and prevent potential customer confusion. By requiring franchisees to cancel any assumed names containing Bojangles's proprietary marks, Bojangles ensures that only authorized operators use its brand identity. This protects the integrity and reputation of the Bojangles brand.

For a prospective Bojangles franchisee, this means that upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, they must take immediate steps to cancel any business names they've registered that include Bojangles's trademarks. They must also provide Bojangles with proof that they have completed this cancellation within the specified 30-day period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in legal action from Bojangles to protect its brand and trademarks.
