MCA Holds No Trade Mark Needed to Seek Company Name Rectification under Section 16(1)(a) of Companies Act
The Regional Director, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, held that the absence of a registered trade mark does not bar an existing company from seeking rectification of a later company’s identical or deceptively similar name under Section 16(1)(a), Companies Act, 2013, and directed the respondent company to change its name within 3 months.
