TRADEMARKS
Section 8
which covers trademark disclosure shows whether the
trademark is registered. Check
to see if you will have to be the one to defend any
trademark action brought against a franchise owner -- you
want the main company to handle suits such as these.
Some
franchises place limitations on how you can market your
business. These are usually related to the "corporate
image." Investors in franchise corporations demand
that the franchise defend its trademark as a part of normal
business, so be sure you know what you can't and can do with
their logos and materials.
