What specific written materials used in the Kidokinetics System does the franchisor claim copyrights on?

According to Kidokinetics' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor defines "Copyrights" as all works and materials for which they or their affiliates have secured common law or registered copyright protection. These copyrighted materials are those that Kidokinetics franchisees are allowed to use, sell, or display when marketing and operating their Kidokinetics Business. This includes materials that are currently in existence or those created in the future.

This definition is part of a broader Confidentiality Agreement that Kidokinetics requires individuals associated with a franchise to sign. This agreement ensures that confidential information, including copyrighted materials, is protected and used only in connection with the Kidokinetics Business. The agreement emphasizes the importance of restricting the use, access, and dissemination of confidential information to maintain the economic advantages of the Kidokinetics System.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that any unauthorized use of these copyrighted materials would be considered an infringement of Kidokinetics' intellectual property rights, potentially leading to legal consequences. Franchisees must also acknowledge that all goodwill arising from the use of the Intellectual Property and the System benefits Kidokinetics, and no monetary amount will be assigned to the franchisee upon termination of the agreement.
