On 1 October 2008, new rules relating to the registration of company names came into force. These allow companies to object more easily to the registration of a company name which could be confused with theirs. The new rules can be found on the website of the UK Intellectual Property Office.
Companies House has recently launched a new system for checking the availability of names for new companies: don't forget to check that the associated Internet domain name is avalaible as well.





We would like to thank you for the superb work and attention to detail that has gone into our dispute with the council so far!
