What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the SPRAY-NET mark has two registration dates of February 25, 2025, under registration numbers 7702917 and 7702918. This means that Spray Net has taken the necessary legal steps to protect its brand name and associated logos, preventing others from using similar marks in a way that could confuse customers. As a franchisee, you are granted a non-exclusive license to use these marks within the scope of your franchise agreement. This license is for the SPRAY-NET mark that is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Spray Net's affiliate, SN Quebec, owns the Proprietary Marks and licenses them exclusively to Spray Net. This license allows Spray Net to franchise the system globally. The trademark license remains in effect as long as Spray Net does not default or breach the agreement by damaging the marks or the goodwill of the system. If the Trademark License is terminated, Spray Net franchisees can continue using the Proprietary Marks until their Franchise Agreements expire or are terminated.
As a Spray Net franchisee, you must adhere to the standards and instructions regarding the use of the Proprietary Marks. The goodwill associated with these marks remains the exclusive property of Spray Net, and any increase in goodwill during the franchise term benefits Spray Net. Upon expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement, all rights to use the Proprietary Marks revert to Spray Net without any cost or required documentation.
It is important to note that you cannot use the Proprietary Marks as part of your company name without prior written consent, and you cannot modify the marks in any way unless licensed to do so. You must also notify Spray Net immediately of any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Marks. While Spray Net is not required to defend you against claims related to your use of the marks, they will reimburse your reasonable expenses in legal proceedings if you comply with the Franchise Agreement and their written directives.
