What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'dermani MEDSPA®' mark has two registration numbers. The first registration number is 4657771, registered on December 16, 2014. The second registration number is 5779507, registered on June 18, 2019. These marks are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Dermani Medspa grants franchisees the right to use these marks under the Franchise Agreement. The parent company, LazCoz, owns the registered marks.
It is important for a prospective Dermani Medspa franchisee to understand the implications of these trademarks. The franchisee has the right to use the marks, but must also adhere to the guidelines and standards set by Dermani Medspa to maintain the integrity of the brand. The franchisee must notify Dermani Medspa immediately of any potential infringement or challenges to the use of the mark. Dermani Medspa retains control over any litigation or proceedings related to the trademarks, and the franchisee is required to cooperate in protecting the marks.
Dermani Medspa states that LazCoz has filed all declarations of use and renewals required to maintain these registrations. This indicates that the company is actively protecting its trademarks. The TM Agreement has a 20-year term, with automatic 1-year renewal terms. If Dermani Medspa were to lose its right to the Marks, LazCoz is required under the TM Agreement to allow Dermani Medspa franchisees to maintain their rights to use the Proprietary Marks in accordance with their franchise agreements. Also, the franchise agreements will be assigned to LazCoz.
Prospective franchisees should also note that Dermani Medspa has the right to require franchisees to modify or discontinue using any mark if it deems necessary. While the FDD states that neither Dermani Medspa nor its affiliates will reimburse franchisees for expenditures due to any discontinuance or modification, Dermani Medspa will reimburse franchisees for all damages and expenses that they incur in any trademark infringement proceeding disputing their authorized use of any Mark under the Agreement, provided the franchisee has notified Dermani Medspa immediately upon becoming aware of such infringement, complies with Dermani Medspa's directions in responding to the proceeding, and has used the Mark(s) in compliance with the Agreement, the Manual, and other directives from Dermani Medspa.
