APPENDIX D
"TOO LIKE" NAMES
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "TOO LIKE”? When deciding whether the name of one company is "too like" that of another, the Secretary of State first
looks at the two names. Only if the names appear to
be like each other does the question arise whether
they are "too like", that is whether there is a danger of
confusion between the two companies.
If the names differ by one or more words, this may
suggest that they are not "too like", depending on, for
example, the word(s) in question and the length of the
names in question.
If it appears that the names could be "too like", the
Secretary of State then takes account of any factors
which suggest that there is a danger of confusion
between the two companies. Such factors may include
the nature and location of the companies' respective
business activities.
Evidence to show that confusion has arisen between
the two companies is also taken into account.
It is important to remember that consideration can only
be given to the full corporate names of the companies.
