Are there any pending legal proceedings involving the Canine Dimensions marks?

According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are currently no effective 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 are there any pending interference, opposition, cancellation proceedings, or material litigation involving the Canine Dimensions marks. Additionally, Canine Dimensions states that they are not aware of any superior prior rights or infringing uses that could materially affect a franchisee's use of the marks.

This statement provides some assurance to potential Canine Dimensions franchisees that the trademarks are not currently subject to any legal challenges that could impact their ability to use them. However, it's important to note that this is only a snapshot in time, and legal challenges could arise in the future.

The Franchise Agreement stipulates that franchisees must immediately notify Canine Dimensions if they become aware of any infringement or challenges to the use of a mark. Canine Dimensions retains control over any litigation or proceedings arising from such infringements or challenges and is not required to participate in the franchisee's defense or indemnify them for expenses or damages if the franchisee becomes involved in a trademark-related legal proceeding. This means that while Canine Dimensions will likely take action to protect its trademarks, the franchisee may bear the financial burden of defending their right to use the marks in certain situations.
