Does Canine Dimensions have any patents material to the franchise?

According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not contain information regarding any patents material to the franchise. The FDD does discuss trademarks and service marks owned by an affiliate, Davidson and Michaels, LLC, which are licensed to Canine Dimensions. The license agreement allows Canine Dimensions to use and franchise the marks to its franchisees. The FDD also states that there are no current determinations by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Trademark Trial And Appeal Board, the Trademark Administrator of any state or any court, nor any pending interference, opposition or cancellation proceeding or material litigation involving the Marks.

While the FDD provides information on trademarks, it does not address whether Canine Dimensions owns or licenses any patents that are material to the franchise system. Patents could cover proprietary training methods, equipment, or other aspects of the Canine Dimensions business model. Without this information, prospective franchisees may not be able to fully assess the competitive advantages and risks associated with the franchise.

Therefore, a prospective franchisee should ask Canine Dimensions directly whether the company owns or licenses any patents relevant to the franchise. Understanding the patent landscape is crucial for evaluating the long-term viability and competitive positioning of a Canine Dimensions franchise.
