Who owns the innovations conceived or developed by a Fly To Fit franchisee?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit Franchise will automatically own all innovations conceived or developed by a franchisee, its employees, agents, or contractors. These innovations encompass all ideas, plans, improvements, concepts, methods, and techniques related to the Fly To Fit business.

This means that if a Fly To Fit franchisee develops a new exercise routine, a better way to manage class bookings, or any other improvement related to the business, Fly To Fit Franchise will own it. The franchisee is obligated to disclose these innovations to Fly To Fit Franchise.

Fly To Fit Franchise has the right to incorporate these innovations into the Fly To Fit system without providing any compensation to the franchisee. The franchisee must also execute any documents reasonably requested by Fly To Fit Franchise to confirm Fly To Fit Franchise's ownership of the innovations. This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements, as it allows the franchisor to maintain consistency and control over the brand and system, but it means franchisees will not directly benefit financially from their own innovations.
