Have the trademark registrations been renewed for Canine Dimensions?

According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the trademark registrations have been renewed. The FDD states that Canine Dimensions has filed all required affidavits relating to the registered marks and that the registrations have been renewed.

This is important for prospective franchisees because it confirms that Canine Dimensions has taken the necessary steps to maintain its trademarks. These trademarks are crucial for franchisees as they represent the brand's identity and reputation. Franchisees are granted the nonexclusive right to use Canine Dimensions's marks in connection with the operation of their franchised business. They may also use other current or future trademarks to operate the franchised business.

The trademarks are owned by Davidson and Michaels, LLC, an affiliate of Canine Dimensions, who has granted Canine Dimensions a royalty-free license to exclusively use and franchise the marks. This license allows Canine Dimensions to grant franchisees the right to use the trademarks. If the license were to be terminated, Canine Dimensions retains the right to change the name under which it and its franchisees operate and continue to operate and license the existing Canine Dimensions Businesses under a different name.

The FDD also specifies rules for trademark usage, stating that franchisees must adhere to Canine Dimensions's guidelines when using the marks. Franchisees cannot use a name or mark as part of a corporate name or with modifying words, designs, or symbols, except for those licensed to them. They also cannot use the marks with the sale of an unauthorized product or service or in a manner not authorized in writing by Canine Dimensions. Franchisees must modify or discontinue the use of a mark if Canine Dimensions modifies or discontinues it, and Canine Dimensions is not required to reimburse franchisees for any costs incurred related to the modification or discontinuance of a mark.
