Upon termination or expiration of the Dryject franchise agreement, what actions must the franchisee take to cancel or assign fictitious names related to the marks?

According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, after the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, a franchisee is required to take specific actions regarding fictitious or assumed names associated with the Dryject marks. The franchisee must promptly take action to cancel all fictitious or assumed names or equivalent registrations related to the use of any of Dryject's marks. Alternatively, at Dryject's option, the franchisee must assign these names to Dryject.

This requirement ensures that upon the end of the franchise relationship, the franchisee no longer uses names that could be confused with the Dryject brand. This protects Dryject's brand identity and prevents potential customer confusion.

In addition to cancelling or assigning fictitious names, the franchisee must also cease representing themselves as a Dryject franchisee, remove any branding identifiable with Dryject, and assign any interest in phone numbers, listings, social media accounts, and internet numbers to Dryject. These steps collectively ensure a clean break between the franchisee and the Dryject brand, maintaining the integrity and uniformity of the Dryject brand across all its franchise locations.
