What are the registration numbers for the Chocolate Fish Coffee trademarks?

According to Chocolate Fish Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company has two registered trademarks. One trademark has the registration number 6042416, and the other, "Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters," has the registration number 6042407. Both trademarks were registered on April 28, 2020. These trademarks are owned by Nzus, Corp, an affiliate of Chocolate Fish Coffee, and are licensed to the franchisor through an intercompany agreement, which allows Chocolate Fish Coffee to sublicense them to franchisees.

This means that as a Chocolate Fish Coffee franchisee, you are granted the right to use these trademarks in your business operations. The franchise agreement also requires you to notify Chocolate Fish Coffee of any identical or confusingly similar trademark uses or claims. While Chocolate Fish Coffee is not obligated to take action upon notification, they do retain the right to control any administrative or legal proceedings involving the trademarks.

Chocolate Fish Coffee will defend you against legal actions from third parties alleging trademark infringement, provided you use the trademarks according to the franchise agreement. They will also cover expenses and damages if any legal action is resolved against you. However, Chocolate Fish Coffee can require you to modify or discontinue using a trademark at your own expense under the franchise agreement. This could happen if there are superior prior rights or infringing uses that could affect your use of the trademarks, although Chocolate Fish Coffee states they are not currently aware of any such issues.
