Legally disallowed under Trade Marks and Patent Act, if registered.

Dear Mr. Kulkarni,

Only Companies Act and Cooperative Societies Act debars registration of the same or similar name of any establishment. However, no other firm of the same name can use registered trademark or patent of the other establishment.
