    Business Name and Register Trademark

    Dear all,

    I am going to start a new business soon. Now, I am in a midst of creating my business name. As all of you guys know, creating a business name is as important as drafting a business plan.
    Over here, I have a few confusion that would like to consult you guys here. If we are to register a business name, do we need to take note of already taken existing business name. Of course we need but in what extend. Say for example there is company called Kokon. Are we able to register a business call Kokon Online or Kokon Technology?
    Besides that, I understand that we also need to take note on the register trademark. Is there any relation between business name and register trademark. For example, there is an existing trademark for a company called Kokon. Is it a violation if we register our business name called Kokon Online, Kokon Fashion and etc.
    In fact, I am now very frustrating of creating a business name without violating to any laws in any countries.
    Another confusion of mine is that if there is an existing business called Kokon in US, are we able to register a business name called Kokon in UK?
    I hope experts here are able to help me to escape from this confusion.
    Thanks a lot.
    Enlighten and be rich

    You should consult with an attorney regarding specific business registration requirements in your area, as well as trademark requirements.

    Some local jurisdictions may allow you to register a business name that you later find to violate another party's trademark. So just because you register a business in a name, that does not mean that the trademark office will register that name as a trademark, or that another party will not claim that you violate the other party's trademark. Again, consult an attorney for your particular circumstances.

    I think consulting with a lawyer can be great and also another thing which is important is to contact the company directly and ask them and also the way your business will be operated.

    Some points like, if the two businesses are similar or not and other issues.
