What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, they have several pending trademark applications. The FDD lists application numbers 98,593,031 (filed June 10, 2024), 98,594,913 (filed June 11, 2024), 98,613,272 (filed June 21, 2024), and 98,619,856 (filed June 26, 2024). All of these applications are for International Class 35, which typically covers business management, organization, and administration services, as well as advertising and marketing services.
For a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee, this information is relevant because it shows the brand is actively seeking to protect its trademarks. This can be seen as a positive sign, indicating that Focalpoint Coaching is invested in its brand and its future. The franchisee will be using these trademarks in their business, so it is important that they are protected.
However, it is important to note that these are just applications, not registered trademarks. There is no guarantee that these applications will be approved. If the applications are not approved, Focalpoint Coaching may need to modify or discontinue using the marks, which could impact the franchisee's business. The FDD states that the franchisee must comply with Focalpoint Coaching's directions if they need to modify or discontinue using any mark and that Focalpoint Coaching need not reimburse the franchisee for expenses of changing signs, loss of revenue, or loss of goodwill due to a modified or discontinued mark.
It is also worth noting that the principal mark is owned by Brian Tracy and Campbell Fraser, who have licensed it to Focalpoint International. Focalpoint International then sublicenses it to Focalpoint Coaching. This means that the franchisee's right to use the principal mark is dependent on the license agreements between these parties. If these agreements terminate, the franchisee may no longer have the right to use the principal mark.
