What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the trademark 'DEKALASH' is registered on the Principal Register of the USPTO under registration number 5739771. The registration date for this trademark is April 30, 2019. DL IP Holdings, LLC owns this trademark and licenses it to Deka Lash.
As a Deka Lash franchisee, you are granted the right to use this trademark under the franchise agreement. However, it's important to note that Deka Lash's rights to use this trademark are subject to a License Agreement with DL IP Holdings, LLC, effective July 6, 2019, and amended on August 19, 2019. This agreement has a one-year term that automatically renews unless terminated by either party with a 30-day written notice.
The FDD emphasizes that if this License Agreement were terminated, franchisees could lose the right to use the trademarks. This highlights a potential risk for franchisees, as their ability to operate under the Deka Lash brand name depends on the continuation of the licensing agreement between Deka Lash and DL IP Holdings, LLC. Prospective franchisees should consider this when evaluating the franchise opportunity and perhaps inquire about the stability and terms of this licensing agreement.
