According to the 2025 Jack In The Box FDD, the company grants the franchisee a limited license to operate a Jack In The Box restaurant at a specific location, referred to as the "Franchised Restaurant," which is described more fully in Attachment A.

The franchisee is allowed to use the Jack In The Box system, the brand's marks, and any other marks that Jack In The Box may authorize. The franchisee can only operate at the specified location. The premises must be used exclusively for the operation and promotion of the franchised restaurant during the agreement term.
This license is non-exclusive and applies only to the specified premises. It does not grant the franchisee any proprietary or goodwill rights to the marks or to any country, province, state, area, market, or territory. Jack In The Box retains the right to engage in the wholesale and retail production, distribution, and sale of products, including food products, under the Jack In The Box trademark or any other trademarks. This includes sales through company-operated restaurants, franchised restaurants, or any alternative marketing channels, both inside and outside the franchisee's trading area.
