What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no pending infringement, opposition, or cancellation proceeding related to the Dryject trademark. The document also states that there are no effective material determinations of the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board, or any state's Trademark Administrator or court relating to the "DryJect®" mark. Additionally, there is no pending material litigation involving the marks, and Dryject has filed all required affidavits with the USPTO. This provides some assurance to potential franchisees regarding the legal standing of the Dryject trademark. However, the Franchise Agreement does not require Dryject to defend or indemnify franchisees against infringement claims. Franchisees must notify Dryject promptly and cooperate fully if litigation is threatened or instituted. Dryject retains the right to control any administrative proceeding or litigation involving a licensed trademark. Franchisees must also sign documents necessary to protect Dryject's marks. These stipulations highlight the franchisee's responsibility in protecting the trademark and the franchisor's control over legal proceedings. While Dryject states they have no knowledge of superior prior rights or infringing uses that could materially affect a Franchise Owner's use of the Marks in any state, they cannot prevent anyone who began using the name "DryJect®" before their use of it from continuing their use of that name in the area of prior use. The name "DryJect®" may be in use by other businesses in the United States who are not Dryject franchisees or in any way affiliated with them, and the franchisee is responsible for finding out whether the name "DryJect®" is already being used in the Designated Territory.
