Besides Focalpoint Coaching and its attorneys, with whom is a Focalpoint Coaching franchisee prohibited from communicating regarding any infringement, challenge, or claim related to a Mark?

Based on the 2025 FDD, a Focalpoint Coaching franchisee is prohibited from assisting any other person in contesting the validity, or Focalpoint Coaching's and FocalPoint International's ownership, of the Marks. This restriction applies both during the term of the Franchise Agreement and after its termination.

This clause is designed to protect Focalpoint Coaching's brand and trademarks. By preventing franchisees from assisting others in challenging the Marks, Focalpoint Coaching aims to maintain the strength and recognition of its brand. This is a standard practice in franchising, as the brand's value is often a significant part of what franchisees are paying for.

For a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee, this means they cannot support any third-party efforts to dispute Focalpoint Coaching's trademark rights. Doing so would be a breach of the Franchise Agreement. This restriction remains in effect even after the franchise agreement ends. Franchisees should be aware of this limitation and ensure they do not engage in any activity that could be construed as assisting in a challenge to Focalpoint Coaching's Marks.
