Is a business name a similar IP right compared to a trademark?
A business name, or the name that a business uses to identify itself, is often referred to as a « trade name ». A business name is used in connection with a legal entity (a corporation for example). A trademark, on the other hand, is used in connection with a product or service, which may or may not be the same as an entity's business name.
A business name is not considered a trademark and is neither entitled any protection under trademark laws. Their scope of protection is limited, and these rights are only searched during the course of a similarity search.
