franchised
Given brand license
Franchised describes a business or operation licensed to use another company's brand, products, and methods: a franchised McDonald's restaurant, franchised dealerships.
The term can also mean granted a right or privilege more broadly—historically, franchised voters were those given the right to vote.
In sports, a franchised player is designated for exclusive negotiating rights by their team.
