What is the serial number for the Endless Summer Sweets principal trademark application?

According to Endless Summer Sweets's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the principal trademark has an application date of November 12, 2022, and a serial number of 97674811. The trademark is owned by Antoinette Sanchez, the founder, and is licensed to Endless Summer Sweets.

Endless Summer Sweets indicates that they do not yet have a federal registration for this trademark, meaning it currently lacks the full legal benefits and rights of a federally registered trademark. However, they intend to file all required affidavits when due. This is a standard process for companies seeking to protect their brand identity, and Endless Summer Sweets states that there are no current material determinations or pending proceedings that would affect a franchisee's ability to use the marks.

Endless Summer Sweets has an agreement with Antoinette Sanchez, granting them the exclusive right to sublicense the trademarks to franchisees throughout the United States. This agreement has no expiration date and can only be modified by mutual consent. It can be terminated if Endless Summer Sweets misuses the trademarks and fails to correct the misuse, or if they discontinue commercial use of the trademarks for more than one year. Importantly, the agreement specifies that termination would not affect a franchisee's rights. Endless Summer Sweets also states that they will defend franchisees against legal actions alleging trademark infringement and will indemnify them for expenses and damages if such actions are resolved unfavorably, provided the trademarks are used in accordance with the franchise agreement.
