Administrative / biographical background

The Company Names Tribunal was created on 1 October 2008 as a direct result of the coming into force of Section 69 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company Names Tribunal is administered by the UK Intellectual Property Office and only deals with complaints under under sections 69(1)(a) and (b) of the Companies Act 2006. These sections provide for complaints by businesses or persons who have a goodwill or reputation associated with a name and where that name (or a similar name likely to suggest a connection with the complainant) has been opportunistically registered as a company name by someone else with a view to obtaining money from the complainant, or to prevent the complainant from registering the name.

The website is hosted and maintained by the Intellectual Property Office.
