Dog Haus's trademarks are important assets for the franchise system. As a franchisee, you are licensed to use these trademarks during the term of your Franchise Agreement, which allows you to benefit from the brand's reputation and recognition. However, Dog Haus retains the right to modify or discontinue the use of any of its trademarks, and you would be obligated to comply with these changes at your own expense.
It is important to note that Dog Haus is aware of other entities using "Dog Haus" as a trade name, specifically in Minnesota and Wisconsin. This could potentially affect a franchisee's use of the licensed trade name, trademarks, or service marks. Dog Haus has not conducted an exhaustive search of similar names, so there may be other prior uses that could pose a risk. Prospective franchisees should be aware of these potential conflicts and how they might impact their business.
In 2014, Dog Haus faced a Petition for Cancellation Proceedings regarding trademark registration number 4,202,507, but the parties jointly filed their withdrawal of the petitions to cancel along with the corresponding counterclaim without prejudice, and the TTAB dismissed the petitions. Franchisees should stay informed about any potential challenges to the brand's trademarks, as these could lead to changes in branding or marketing strategies.
