trade name1. the name used by a trade to refer to a commodity, service, etc. 2. the name under which a commercial enterprise operates in business Trade Name in bourgeois civil and commercial law, the name under which a concern does business. Trade names were originally used by individual merchants and unlimited companies. During the period of monopoly and state-monopoly capitalism, they have been used mainly by joint-stock companies and other types of business associations. The legal status of trade names is set forth in commercial codes (Federal Republic of Germany, Japan), in commercial law (Great Britain, USA), and in laws on, for example, sales, liens, and unfair competition. A number of rules on the use, transfer, and protection of trade names have arisen from judicial and administrative practice. Certain countries (France, Switzerland, Federal Republic of Germany) require that the trade name correspond to the businessman’s real name. In the case of unlimited companies, the trade name includes either the family names of all the members or the name of one member together with an indication that an unlimited company exists, for example, Durand and Company. In practice, this principle is operative only in the creation of new enterprises. Anglo-American and Japanese law places no restrictions on the choice of trade name, but certain rules must be followed. For example, the trade name must indicate the type of business association. The trade name must be registered in the commercial register or recorded in some other way established by law. The name appears on the concern’s signs, forms, financial documents, and stationery. The right to use the trade name is exclusive. A trade name cannot be transferred, and it cannot be the subject of a lien separately from the enterprise. Infringements of trade name rights include the unauthorized use of the trade name, the use of a similar name or logotype, and the arrangement of, for example, letters and print in such a way as to suggest a trade name belonging to another. These rights are usually defended through civil actions; the court enjoins the violator from using the trade name and orders that the violator pay damages. The illegal use of a trade name can also be prosecuted administratively (Federal Republic of Germany) through the imposition of a fine by the judge who registers trade names. In some instances, the infringement of trade name rights is a criminal offense (France, Federal Republic of Germany). In accordance with the 1883 Paris convention on the protection of industrial property, the use of another’s trade name constitutes unfair competition. Trade names are protected in all countries that are signatories to the convention. In socialist countries [in the USSR, prior to the issuance in 1974 of the Statute on the Production Association (Combine)], trade names denote production associations headed by a principal enterprise. These trade names should not be confused with the firm names of economic organizations that are legal entities. trade name

Trade NameNames or designations used by companies to identify themselves and distinguish their businesses from others in the same field. Trade names are used by profit and non-profit entities, political and religious organizations, industry and agriculture, manufacturers and producers, wholesalers and retailers, sole proprietorships and joint ventures, partnerships and corporations, and a host of other business associations. A trade name may be the actual name of a given business or an assumed name under which a business operates and holds itself out to the public. Trade name regulation derives from the Common Law of Unfair Competition. The common law distinguishes between Trademarks and trade names. Trademarks consist of symbols, logos, and other devices that are affixed to goods to signify their authenticity to the public. The common law of trade names encompasses a broader class of Intellectual Property interests, including Trade Dress and service marks. Trade dress is used by competitors to distinguish their products by visual appearance, including size, shape, and color, while service marks are used by competitors to distinguish their services from each other. Gradually, the law of trade dress and service marks has evolved into separate causes of action, independent from the law of trade name infringement. To maintain a Cause of Action for trade name infringement, a plaintiff must establish that it owned the right to operate its business under a certain name and that the defendant violated this right by use of a deceptively similar name. The right to use a particular trade name ordinarily is established by priority of adoption. In states that require registration of trade names, a business may acquire the rights to a trade name by being the first to file for protection with the appropriate governmental office, usually the Secretary of State. In states that do not require registration, a business may acquire the rights to a trade name through public use, which means that the law will afford protection only if it can be demonstrated that a business and its trade name have become inseparable in the public's mind. Under federal law businesses may acquire the rights to a trade name only through regular and continued public use of an individual name. Federal law will not protect trade names that are used sporadically or irregularly. Once a business has established the right to use a particular trade name, it must then prove that the defendant fraudulently attempted to pass itself off as the plaintiff through use of a deceptively similar name. Not every trade name that resembles an existing one will give rise to liability for infringement. The law will not forbid two unrelated businesses from using the same trade name so long as their coexistence creates no substantial risk of confusion among the public. For instance, two businesses may call themselves "Triple Play" if one business is a video store and the other is a sports bar and grill. By the same token, the law permits businesses in different geographic markets to use identical trade names, unless the good will and reputation of an existing business extend into the market where a new business has opened. A greater degree of protection is afforded to fanciful trade names than to names in common use. Generic words that are widely used to describe any number of businesses in the same field may not be appropriated by a single competitor. For example, a professional partnership of attorneys would receive no trade name protection for emblazoning the name "law office" across its front doors. Such a name would be considered generic in nature, telling consumers nothing unique or unusual about that particular business. The same partnership would receive full protection for a name that identifies the firm by the individual names of each partner in the office. Trade name regulation serves four purposes. First, the law seeks to protect the economic, intellectual, and creative investments made by businesses in distinguishing their trades. Second, the law seeks to preserve the good will and reputation that are often associated with a particular trade name. Third, the law seeks to promote clarity and stability in the marketplace by encouraging consumers to rely on a merchant's trade name when evaluating the quality of its merchandise. Fourth, the law seeks to increase competition by requiring businesses to associate their own trade names with the value and quality of their goods and services. Both state and federal laws provide protection against trade name infringement. At the federal level, trade names are regulated by the Lanham Trademark Act (15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq.). At the state level, trade names are regulated by analogous intellectual property statutes and various common-law doctrines. In general, the law of trade name infringement attempts to protect consumers from deceptive trade practices. The law does not treat consumers as unwitting dupes and may require them to make reasonable distinctions between competitors under appropriate circumstances. When consumers have been deceived by use of a deceptively similar trade name, an injured business may avail itself of two remedies for infringement: injunctive relief (a court order restraining one party from infringing on another's trade name) and money damages (compensation for any losses suffered by the injured business). Cross-references Lanham Act. trade namen. a name of a business or one of its products which, by use of the name and public reputation, identifies the product as that of the business. A trade name belongs to the first business to use it, and the identification and reputation give it value and the right to protect the trade name against its use by others. Example: Sheaffer's is clearly identified as a fountain pen manufactured by the Sheaffer Company, and no one else can produce pens with that name. However, a motorcycle with the name Sheaffer would not be an infringement since the product is different. (See: trademark) Trade Name
