Has Deck Medic applied to the USPTO for the issuance of any patents?

The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document for Deck Medic does not explicitly state whether Deck Medic has applied for any patents with the USPTO. However, the document does mention that Deck Medic has proprietary stains, strippers, and cleaners that are exclusively available to its franchise owners.

Item 13 of the FDD discusses the trademarks that Deck Medic has registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It lists the principal trademarks registered, including "Deck Medic®" with registration number 5037787, registered on September 6, 2016, and another registration with number 5224100, registered on June 13, 2017. The presence of registered trademarks suggests that Deck Medic is actively protecting its brand identity.

While the FDD details trademark registrations, it does not provide information on any patent applications or issued patents. A prospective franchisee should directly ask Deck Medic whether they have sought patent protection for their proprietary products or processes. This information could be relevant in assessing the competitive advantage and long-term viability of the Deck Medic franchise.
