A company name serves only to identify a legal entity. It does not confer a proprietary right in that name. A\u00a0trade mark registration\u00a0creates a legal right which may be relied on to prevent another party using a name the same as or similar to that registered as a trade mark.<\/p>\n
A registered trade mark is something separate from a company name. If a company is incorporated under a name which includes a registered trade mark and that company provides similar goods or services, the owner of the registered trade mark may compel that company to change its name.<\/p>\n
Moreover, if a company uses any part of its name as a trade mark on or in relation to certain products or services, and another party has registered the same mark or a similar mark in relation to those products or services, then such use by the first company of its name may constitute\u00a0trade mark infringement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
