What protection is granted to the Corporations Name?
In your incorporation state only your Company will have the right to use its name. However, it is possible that this name is also that of a Company incorporated in another state or elsewhere in the world because there is no national registration of trade names. Generally, businesses, including corporations, protect their trade names by registering their trade name as a service mark or trademark if the trade name also functions as a service mark or trademark. Because of the legal complexities involved, we recommend that businesses obtain private counsel to get advice on how to protect a trade name in interstate commerce.
