Use of Trade Name - Company, Corporate Laws / SEBI / LLP

[Bijay Shrestha]

Dear Experts,

A company registered as "Paradise Hotel Pvt.. Ltd." uses trade name as "Paradise Angels" in its all billings.

My query is whether the Company is legally allowed to use that trade Name ?

What is the legal provision that the Company incorporated as Pvt. Ltd. can use the Trade Name ?

Please kindly suggest.

Trade marks must be registered under the IPR Laws as on unregistered TM may lead to dispute. Please check whether it is registered in your name, if not then, get it registered.

You have to register as trade mark. You may use the same without registration but it willnot give legal protection.

Thanks for reply.

One more thing, Trade name and Trade mark are same ? Both required to be registered ?
