Floyds_99 Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
On September 27, 2005, our affiliated entity, Floyd's 99 Colorado (then known as Floyd's 99 Operating, LLC), obtained a copyright registration for the services price list used in FLOYD'S 99 Barbershops, Reg. No. TX 6-241-458. The copyright protection for the services price list will last for the full duration of a copyright created under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, currently until May 1, 2099. Since our services price list copyright was created after January 1, 1978, the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, does not give us the ability or the option to renew this copyright. We also claim a copyright in the design of the poster wall in our Barbershops and other aspects of our trade dress, but we do not own any other copyright registrations or patents or pending patent applications which are material to the franchise. We consider our Operations Manual and related materials and training materials to be a part of our Licensed Methods and any software that we may in the future develop as our proprietary and confidential property. You may use the Operations Manual only as described in the Franchise Agreement. We require that you maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information and adopt reasonable procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets and proprietary information. Although we have not obtained a copyright registration, we own the copyright in our Operations Manual, poster wall, trade dress, product packaging and other works.
