What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the trademark 'BUILDING GREAT BUSINESSES FOR A GREATER PURPOSE' was registered on January 26, 2021. The registration number for this trademark is 6,254,358, and it is registered on the Principal Register.
C12 Group's registration of this trademark on the Principal Register grants them certain presumptive rights, offering legal protection for their brand identity. This registration helps prevent other businesses from using similar marks that could cause confusion among consumers. For a franchisee, this means they are authorized to use a protected trademark, which can contribute to brand recognition and customer trust.
It is important to note that C12 Group also has pending trademarks. The FDD states that C12 Group does not have a federal registration for the two pending trademarks listed. The document further clarifies that there are currently opposition proceedings regarding these two pending trademarks, but the parties are working toward a settlement agreement that would allow for the registration of both marks. As a prospective franchisee, it would be prudent to stay informed about the status of these pending trademarks and any potential impact on the franchise system.
