Under a provision of the Companies Act 2006 in force from 1st October, there is a new adjudicator (at the UK Intellectual Property Office’s Company Names Tribunal) who can decide whether a proposed company name is too similar to someone else’s trading name. This now doesn’t depend on the organisation/business having a registered company name matching the trading name.
