The ultimate protection of a name is secured only by way of a Trademark. The exclusive usage of Business and Trade name are protected under Trademark Registration. Registering a Company or LLP with a particular Name does not protect the name as such. The only protection by way of Company / LLP name is that another company or LLP will not be registered with the same name or closely resembling name. If any other person gets the Trademark registered for your company name, he gets the priority and is empowered to take legal action against your company for infringement of Trademark and even the trademark owner can remove the registered name of the Company or LLP. For eg. CompaniesInn.com LLP is registered as an LLP. LLP Law protects the name from registering another LLP / Company with same name CompaniesInn.com LLP or any other closely resembling names. The name 'Companiesinn.com' as such is not protected under LLP Act. 'CompaniesInn.com' is also a registered Trademark ...

Company / LLP Name, Business Name, Brand and Logo – How does it differ? Company name is generally referred as the name of organisation like CompaniesInn.com LLP. Business Name refers the trading name such as 'Companiesinn.com'. Brand name refers to the name of a product or service such as 'IncorporationKiosk' or 'CompanyKit' or '24hrIncorportaion etc. Logo means the picture view of brand. The logo need not contain name or taglines. When the logo contains business / brand name or taglines it is referred as Composite Mark. To get the right protection for Company Name, Business Name, Brand and Logo, it should be rightly applied with correct classification of Products or services. Under Trade Mark Rules the products and services are classified under 45 classes. It is very important to make the application in correct class to get protection of your name for the referred products and services
