Both serial numbers have an application date of January 28, 2023. Expense Reduction Analysts indicates that franchisees will have the limited right to use the marks designated for their consulting business.
It is important to note that Expense Reduction Analysts derives the right to use the ERA GROUP mark from a license agreement with Evercertain Limited, effective as of January 3, 2020. MICO does not have a federal registration for all of its trademarks, which means these trademarks may not have the same legal protections as federally registered trademarks.
If the right to use these trademarks is challenged, franchisees may have to switch to an alternative trademark, potentially increasing their expenses. Franchisees must strictly comply with Expense Reduction Analysts' standards and instructions regarding the use of the marks, and any goodwill associated with the marks remains the exclusive property of Expense Reduction Analysts.
