What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Licensee has a responsibility to protect Byrider's interests regarding its Licensed System. Specifically, if a Byrider Licensee becomes aware of any potential or actual infringement on Byrider's proprietary rights related to the Licensed System by a third party (someone not part of the agreement), the Licensee is required to take action.
The Licensee's obligation is to promptly notify Byrider in writing about the potential or threatened infringement. This notification should include all relevant details known to the Licensee about the infringement. This allows Byrider to take appropriate steps to investigate and protect its intellectual property.
This requirement ensures that Byrider is informed of any unauthorized use or infringement of its Licensed System, enabling them to take timely action to protect its rights. Failure to report such infringements could potentially harm Byrider's business and brand, and could possibly expose the Licensee to liability for failing to protect Byrider's interests.
