What can be done if a Business name which I have registered with the CRO is being used by another business which didn't have it registered?? Is it possible to dispute it?
* does not give protection against duplication of the name;
* does not imply that the name will necessarily prove acceptable subsequently as a company name;
* does not authorise the use of the name if its use could be prohibited for other reasons. It should not for instance be taken as an indication that no rights (e.g. trade marks rights) exist in the name.
