With whom is a Dryject franchisee prohibited from communicating regarding any infringement, challenge, or claim related to the Marks?

The 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document includes provisions that relate to communication with regulators, but it does not specify any prohibition on communicating with any specific party regarding infringements, challenges, or claims related to the Dryject marks.

Specifically, in the state of Washington, any provision in the franchise agreement or related agreements that prohibits the franchisee from communicating with or complaining to regulators is inconsistent with the express instructions in the Franchise Disclosure Document and is unlawful under RCW 19.100.180(2)(h). This suggests that Dryject franchisees are generally allowed to communicate with regulators, and any clause preventing this is unenforceable in Washington.

To fully understand any restrictions on communication regarding the Dryject marks, a prospective franchisee should ask Dryject for clarification on whether there are any limitations on who they can contact regarding trademark issues. They should also inquire about the process for reporting potential infringements and the extent of Dryject's support in protecting the marks.
