Have all required affidavits been filed for the registered marks shown for Canine Dimensions?

According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all necessary affidavits have been filed for the registered marks, and these registrations have been renewed. The trademarks are owned by Davidson and Michaels, LLC, an affiliate, which has granted Canine Dimensions a royalty-free license for their exclusive use in franchising. This license allows Canine Dimensions to use and franchise the marks to its franchisees.

The license agreement does not significantly limit Canine Dimensions's ability to use or license the marks. However, if the license were terminated, Canine Dimensions retains the right to change its name and allow its franchisees to operate under a different name. Franchisees must adhere to Canine Dimensions's rules regarding the use of the marks and cannot use them in unauthorized ways.

The trademarks registered on the Principal Register of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office include "CANINE DIMENSIONS" (Registration Number 3,361,552, registered January 1, 2008) and "PUPPY GOODSTART" (Registration Number 4,640,441, registered November 14, 2014). These marks are essential for franchisees as they represent the brand and its services. Franchisees are required to notify Canine Dimensions immediately if they become aware of any infringement or challenges to the use of these marks. Canine Dimensions will then take appropriate action and control any related litigation, although the Franchise Agreement does not obligate Canine Dimensions to defend or indemnify franchisees in trademark-related legal proceedings.
