It is important to note that while Embassy Suites By Hilton uses the trademark 'Embassy', it does not have a federal registration for this particular mark. This means that 'Embassy' may not have the same legal protections as federally registered trademarks, and there is a risk that the franchisee may need to change to an alternative trademark if the right to use 'Embassy' is challenged.
