When a Franchisee obtains the right to operate a franchised business, they are typically granted the right to use the Franchisor’s brand and trademarks.
For example, a Franchisee entering into a franchise agreement with Burger King automatically receives the right to display the company’s trademark and logo on the restaurant, menus, signage, and advertising materials.
Exclusive License – grants the Franchisee the sole right to operate the franchise within a specified territory, preventing the Franchisor from granting the same rights to others in that area. For example, if John gets an exclusive franchising licensed in the city A, no one could get the same license to operate the same franchised business in the city A.
Non-Exclusive License – allows the Franchisee to operate the franchise in a territory, but the Franchisor may grant the same rights to other franchisees in the same area.
Gross sales is the total revenue generated from all products or services sold by the franchised business before deducting any costs, taxes, or expenses.
Royalty is a name for a payment that you make for using the intellectual property rights of another person.
In the case of a franchise agreement, the franchisee could pay additional royalty fees to the franchisor due to using their trademarks or other intellectual property rights in the franchised business.
