How to protect a brand name

Ignorance by the violator of the fact that an organization with a similar name has already been registered does not relieve him of responsibility.

You can protect your brand name in the following ways:

  • obligatory state registration of the organization, which will allow fixing the company name of the legal entity;
  • a legal entity that registered its organization earlier has the right to demand that the violator change the name of his company;
  • claim financial compensation, but in the case of intellectual property rights, this will be extremely difficult (this is due to the complexity of the process for assessing the exact amount of damages).

This list can be supplemented by any other means permitted by law.

Step-by-step instructions for making changes

The reasons why the owners decided to rename the organization can be very different. Changing the company name is a rather laborious process, because you need to think over the original name again, register it again.

The instructions for making changes are simple:

Features of obtaining a patent

How to come up with a brand? Details on the video.

A fundamental decision was made to create own LLC, developed a business plan, found funds for initial investment. It remains to choose a suitable name to the delight of friends and the envy of competitors. With all the freedom to choose a brand name, certain restrictions and requirements exist. Future owners of the company should know what to be guided by when choosing a name. Consider how the issue is regulated on the basis of the legislation in force in 2018.

Name of the legal entity

The name of the organization serves to individualize it in the market. The name is the brand of the company, it is designed to attract attention and inspire confidence on the part of customers and counterparties, to evoke positive associations. When choosing, you should avoid the prevailing stamps and memes with a negative connotation. This fully applies to the slogans practiced by many entrepreneurs.

The name of the company should not cause negative associations

General requirements

The general obligation of each legal entity to have its own name is established by Art. 54 GK. Specific requirements, depending on the type of organization being created, are given in the relevant special acts. In our case, this is the law of February 8, 1998 No. 14-FZ “On Limited Liability Companies”. A single obligation for all legal entities is to indicate in the name of the organizational legal form. For organizations that carry out certain types activity, there is an obligation to indicate this type in the title. This applies to the following entities, which may be formed in the form of an LLC:

  • credit (banks and non-bank credit organizations - Rusfinance Bank LLC, Zemsky Bank LLC);
  • insurance (Volga Insurance Alliance LLC, Renaissance Insurance Group LLC);
  • stock exchanges (St. Petersburg Stock Exchange JSC, MICEX Stock Exchange CJSC);
  • specialized financial companies operating on the securities market;
  • pawnshops (Lombard-Invest LLC, Lombard No. 1 LLC).

In the company names of companies engaged in certain types of activities, there must be an indication of such activities.

It is mandatory to indicate the type of activity in the names of non-profit organizations (mortgage fund, trade union of trade workers, association of beer lovers, etc.).

Full and short name of LLC

The law establishes the obligation of the company to have a full name in Russian. Applied to commercial organizations the term "brand name" is used. The assignment of a short name is the right of the founders, used in the vast majority of cases.

The full name usually includes the words "Limited Liability Company". Everyday use of such a long name is inconvenient. Moreover, numerous model forms that invariably accompany any economic activity(invoices, warrants, receipts, etc.) may not provide enough space for the full name of the company. Yes, in sick leave in the column “Place of work - name of organization”, 29 cells are allocated for the name of the employer, while the full designation of the legal form of LLC consists of 37 elements without spaces.

Some standard forms do not provide for the possibility to enter in full even the organizational and legal form

The abbreviation LLC is common and well-known, therefore, when choosing a short name, first of all, the name of the form is abbreviated. The use of LLC as an abbreviation of the legal form is also allowed in the full name.

If the personal name consists of one word, then there are few options for the abbreviated name. Voskhod Limited Liability Company in summary will look like Voskhod LLC. Names consisting of several words are abbreviated in three ways:

  • an abbreviation from the first letters of each word (Unified Consumer Protection Service - ESZP, Volga Carpet Center - PCC);
  • use of multiple initial letters or first syllables ( Electronic systems communications - Elsis, Law Firm"Justice" - YurikomP);
  • the use of initial letters, syllables and the introduction of a new syllable or word that reflects the specifics of the company or demonstrates the position in the market (City Taxi Service fast delivery- GorMigTaxi, Service express delivery correspondence - BystroKorr).

The writing of capital letters within the name, the rearrangement of syllables and letters is done at the discretion of the author, based on the euphony and satisfaction of external perception.

The name in the form of an abbreviation should exclude the ambiguity of perception: the Cartographic Factory of the All-Russian Geological Institute cannot boast of this

There are no requirements for identity or direct connection between the full and abbreviated names, but the use of completely incompatible and mutually unassociating names is inappropriate - customers and counterparties should easily perceive both options as belonging to the same person.

When choosing an abbreviated version, it should be borne in mind that subsequently it may be necessary to register a trademark in which they prefer to use the abbreviated name.

Name selection and approval

The main name is the full name in Russian. In total, a commercial company has the right to have up to six company names, one full and one abbreviated to:

  • in Russian;
  • the national language of the peoples of the Russian Federation;
  • foreign language.

Officially, the name of the company appears at the stage of making a decision to establish a company. The decision is taken by the founders unanimously or sole founder and is the start for the subsequent registration of the company in the IFTS and the start of activities. By the meeting of the founders, it is necessary to decide, among other things, on the entire range of issues related to the name. Approved by the decision, full, abbreviated, in the languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation or foreign languages the names will subsequently appear in the founding document and in the registration authority.

Naming requirements

Let's break it down legal requirements to the name of the company into several blocks.

Brand name

The right to use a company name refers to the exclusive rights of a legal entity. The copyright holder is free to use it in their own interests.

The trade name of a commercial company cannot be formed only from words denoting the type of activity carried out (Insurer LLC, Stolovaya LLC).

The company name must not include:

  • full or abbreviated official names of foreign countries, as well as words derived from such names (French Fashion LLC, English Club LLC);
  • full or abbreviated official names of federal bodies state power, public authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments (LLC "Minfin", LLC "Presidential Sausages", LLC "Gubernskaya Duma");
  • full or abbreviated names of public associations (United Russia LLC);
  • designations that are contrary to the public interest, as well as the principles of humanity and morality.

The last subparagraph allows you to set restrictions based on the subjective opinion of the registering authority. In any case, it is forbidden to use words and expressions in the name of the company:

  • obscene or offensive;
  • affecting national dignity or religious beliefs;
  • extremist, Nazi or fascist character;
  • which can be regarded as preaching cruelty, etc.

Registration of an LLC is carried out by the Federal Tax Service, which will make a conclusion about the admissibility of using the proposed name. tax service has the right to refuse registration of a legal entity if violations of the requirements for a company name are detected or the right to file a lawsuit demanding to change it.

Registration of LLC and verification of compliance of the company name with the norms of the legislation is carried out by the Federal Tax Service

The use of the names Russian Federation or Russia, as well as derivatives from them (Russian, All-Russian, Ros., etc.), in the names of legal entities is permitted on the basis of:

  • laws (this right is granted to political parties, nationwide social movements, religious structures, etc.);
  • RPP decrees and RDP acts;
  • special permission from the Ministry of Justice.

The permit is issued to business entities:

  • having structural divisions in the form of branches or representative offices in more than half of the subjects of the country;
  • being the largest taxpayers;
  • if more than 25% of voting shares (more than 25% authorized capital) belongs to the state or an economic entity established in accordance with a special law and having the name of the state in its name.

The use of the official names of the Russian Federation, Russia and their derivatives in the company name is allowed in strictly defined cases

For the issuance of a permit, a state duty in the amount of 80,000 rubles is paid. In case of illegal inclusion of state names, the Federal Tax Service refuses to register a legal entity.

The procedure for using the official names of the subjects of the state is determined by the legal acts of such subjects. There are no restrictions on the use of official names of cities, districts, municipalities.

Company names in the national languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation and foreign languages

The organizational and legal form in the name in a foreign language is indicated according to the rules of a foreign language. For example, a limited liability company in English looks like limited liability company, LLC - LLC or Ltd. The organizational and legal form in foreign languages ​​is usually indicated after the name (LLC "Tables and chairs" - Tables and chairs, Ltd).

The law refers to the name in a foreign language, which does not imply a simple transcription (it would be incorrect Stoli i stulia, Ltd). On the other hand, abbreviated names and abbreviations in transcription in practice do not attract objections from the regional body. For example, Russian Railways JSC has the following registered names:

  • full corporate name of the company in Russian - Open Joint Stock Company "Russian Railways";
  • abbreviated corporate name of the company in Russian - JSC "Russian Railways";
  • full corporate name of the company in English - Joint Stock Company "Russian Railways";
  • the abbreviated corporate name of the company in English is JSCo "RZD".

The name of the company in Russian and in the national languages ​​​​of the Russian Federation may include foreign borrowings in Russian or national transcription, with the exception of words and abbreviations indicating the legal form (SuperPizza LLC, Lifestyle LLC, but Imperial Lmt LLC is not allowed) or Transfiguration LLC).

The uniqueness of the name

There are no legal requirements for the uniqueness of the name, except for cases of using the same or confusingly similar name of a previously registered company carrying out similar activities. The use of such names is prohibited (they will not register the name of a new trading company Pyaterochka+ LLC or the new air carrier Aeroflot-Express LLC.

Founders often seek to individualize their company. To do this, it is recommended to use names of several words, since it is difficult to come up with a one-word unique name - tens of thousands of companies are registered in the country that have repeatedly used all acceptable options. For example, a search in the register of registered legal entities on the website of the Federal Tax Service under the name "Romashka" displays about 200 companies.

You can verify the uniqueness in the corresponding section of the official website of the Federal Tax Service (tab "Business risks: check yourself and the counterparty" on the main page of the site). If you intend to carry out activities subject to licensing or controlled by government agencies, you should check the name on the departmental websites of the relevant government agencies (on the website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation when creating a company operating in the field of financial services). Diverse companies may have similar names (a taxi service that provides services on Volga cars may be called AvtoVAZ Taxi LLC, and a company that collects recyclables and containers - Sberbank LLC).

The beginning of the use of a company name is the date of registration of a legal entity with the Federal Tax Service. The original owner of a similar or similar name, carrying out the same activity, has the right to demand that a company registered later change its name or change its type of activity, as well as compensation for losses caused.

A special case is the registration of two or more LLCs with the same names at the same address and/or by the same founder. There is no prohibition for such actions. The negative consequences of infringement of intellectual rights to a company name is the presentation of claims by the proper copyright holder. If there is no conflict, then there is no violation of rights.

The procedure for changing the company name

The change of name takes place in the same manner as the amendments to the company's charter. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Adoption general meeting participants in the decision to change the company name and amend the charter.
  2. Registration of an application for amendments to the constituent documents (in this case, page 1, sheet A and three pages of sheet M are filled out, new names are indicated on sheet A).
  3. Notarization of the applicant's signature (the state duty will be 200 rubles).
  4. Payment of state duty for state registration in the amount of 800 rubles. according to the details of the relevant territorial tax authority.
  5. Submission of documents for registration with the Federal Tax Service (an application, a decision of the founders, two copies of the charter, a payment order for payment of state duty, a power of attorney of a representative are submitted).

A change in the company name entails the replacement of seals, letterheads, signs, etc.

What name to choose

Fundamentally the choice of name is from the imagination of the founders. With a "scientific" approach to choosing a company name, you should use the services of naming specialists (part marketing activities responsible for the development of brands, slogans, names, etc.).

The naming technique offers several general approaches when choosing a company name:

  1. Use of personal data of their and close people. This is the simplest and most widespread option, which gave rise to countless Ruslan, Olga, Petrovich, Ivanov and Co., etc. A commonplace example of using a name in a brand name is the Mercedes concern, named after creator's daughter.
  2. Inclusion of the main product name. It is important to remember here that the use of only words denoting the main activity is not allowed. To circumvent this rule, additional words are used, including emphasizing competitive advantages in the opinion of the founder. With the help of this approach, LLC Doors Lux, Dining Room No. 21, Building Fast, etc., appear.
  3. Territorial segregation. Often the name of the product is accompanied by geographical landmarks - Nizhny Novgorod Pelmeni LLC, Eastern Confectioners, etc. Territorial names may not reflect the specifics of the company's activities - Volzhskiye Zori LLC, Siberian Spaces, etc.
  4. Use of sonorous and meaningful abbreviations or first syllables. A long name is transformed into a bright and memorable abbreviation. OOO Production building materials» - OOO ProStroyMat, OOO Legal and Financial services"- YurFus LLC, etc. It is possible and vice versa. A vivid abbreviation is taken as the basis, and the full name is derived from it in relation to the type of activity. For example, ABBA LLC - Barnaul Security Agency LLC, etc.
  5. The use of foreign components. From here, a variety of LLC "BystroFud", "Stroycorporation", etc. appeared.
  6. If you wish, you can use several options and get as a result LLC "Far Eastern BystryOkna from Gennady and Co." In such cases, the main thing is not to overdo it.
  7. The use of unusual phrases or ambiguous words and expressions in the title. Founders striving for originality sometimes give unusual names, the effectiveness of which is not always obvious.

The barbershop Zabey LLC in the city of Tula, the auto technical station Trololo LLC in the city of Irkutsk, are actually registered and operating. consulting company LLC "NAH" in Nizhny Novgorod (full name LLC "Novgorod agrarian holding") and many other companies whose names cause an ambiguous reaction. Sometimes such creatives use unusual phrases to form extravagant product names, while resorting to dubious associations.

Travel agency "A Uyed" LLC is registered in the city of Vyatskiye Polyany, Kirov region

For supporters of numerology, we can offer a method for choosing a lucky name, depending on the digital vibration of the letters. Esotericists believe that each letter corresponds to a certain number.

To determine the energy of the company name, it is necessary to translate the letters into numbers and add them up. Let's take Gazprom as an example. We have:

3 (G) + 1 (A) + 3 (B) + 8 (P) + 9 (P) + 7 (O) + 5 (M) \u003d 36

The numbers of the received amount must be added, as a result we get 3 + 6 = 9. If after the first addition you get a two-digit number, add it up again. The final figure will characterize the energy of the name and contribute to good luck in a certain area of ​​business. Distribution of figures by favor to types of activity:

  1. The unit personifies the primordial beginning, the Sun is the star patron. The unit brings good luck to those who go first, offer new products and services, and innovate.
  2. The two do good to companies engaged in the service sector and caring for people, landscaping, and ecology. The heavenly patron is the Moon, symbolizing femininity.
  3. Troika favors the development of the entertainment, advertising and design business. Three means the merging and interaction of opposites. Above this figure patronizes Jupiter.
  4. Four is a creative number. Helps large manufacturing and processing businesses, agriculture. The four favorably relates to architectural, design and engineering work. It is characterized by stability, solidity and controllability. Star patron - Uranus.
  5. The five is favorable for companies engaged in the field of sports and outdoor activities, tourism. The patron is Mercury, which, as is known from mythology, was distinguished by the speed of movement and action. The five is suitable for companies related to travel and transport.
  6. Six favors creative and artistic activity. Well suited for artists, actors, florists, as well as anyone who will help decorate everyday life (art studios, furniture and decor stores). Six helps in the field of medicine, cosmetology and beauty. Star protector - Venus, characterized as human perfection.
  7. Seven is located towards the highest light. Elite shops, clubs, travel agencies with exotic resorts and routes, everything expensive and unusual fall under the protection of this figure. The heavenly patron is Neptune. Seven personifies the cultural and spiritual basis of things.
  8. G8 specializes in financial sector. Everything that is directly or indirectly related to capital investments, investments, consulting, auditing and accounting, etc., can count on success under the protection of this figure. From heaven, the eight is patronized by Saturn.
  9. Nine is located to charitable activities, education, psychological and rehabilitation services. Protecting the nine Mars personifies the change of development cycles.

How seriously numerology should be taken is up to the founders. According to the above classification, the same Gazprom falls under charitable activities, which looks more than stretched. Sberbank has found itself under the protection of the troika and should thrive in the entertainment sector, which is somewhat unusual for a bank.

Universal, neutral names are widespread, reflecting neither the personality of the founder, nor the type of activity or territorial peculiarity. The names are given based on the personal disposition of the owners or borrowed from the pre-privatization history of the company. Examples of such names can be LLC Vesna, Svoboda, etc.

The saying “As you call a ship, so it will sail” fully applies to the brand name. This issue should be approached carefully and with seriousness. A playful name may not be appropriate in the case of successful business development and leadership positions even at the local level. On the other hand, fans of the grandiose and spectacular will look ridiculous if they include the terms "Federal" or "Global" in the name of a company with a staff of three.

Firms and institutions can conduct their activities using 2 addresses - legal and actual. What are these coordinates?

Under legal address firm is understood as the one indicated in its founding documents and at the same time recorded in state registers.

Interestingly, in the legislation of the Russian Federation, the term that sounds like a “legal address” is not officially defined. But in business practice, it is used regularly - including in the interaction of private enterprises with government agencies.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation has another concept - "place of state registration of a legal entity", which corresponds to the address of the company in the city where it was registered with the Federal Tax Service.

Full and abbreviated name of the organization: selection and verification rules

In the process of adapting this norm of the law to business practice, the term "legal address" was formed.

It should be noted that during the state registration of a legal entity, its founder may indicate his own, home address - but only if the company's activities are not related to production or to the organization of work in an office format. But most often the legal address is the one that corresponds to the specialized premises that are rented or bought by the founder.

What is the actual address?

The actual address- one that reflects the actual location of the organization. As a rule, it is used in official document management - when a company exchanges letters with counterparties, clients, government agencies.

The actual address may be the same as the legal one. However, as some statistical studies show, in some business sectors the number of Russian firms operating at the actual address, which does not match the legal one, is about 80%.

At the same time, it is highly desirable that such a state of affairs should not be observed. The fact is that if it is discovered that the legal and actual addresses of the organization do not match, the Federal Tax Service (for example, having received declarations of the same legal entity from different addresses) can impose a fine on it - as a taxpayer who did not provide information about the opening separate subdivision. Which is logical - if the company is in correspondence with different addresses, then it most likely has branches.

Moreover, apart from a fine for failure to provide the Federal Tax Service with information about the opening of a new division, sanctions such as closing a current account and even liquidation by arbitration may be imposed on the company.

Comparison

Main difference legal address from the actual in that the first is registered officially in state registers, and is also recorded in the constituent documents of the company. In turn, the firm is not obliged to indicate the actual address anywhere, but it is highly desirable that it ensure that it matches the legal one.

Having determined what is the difference between the legal and actual address, we fix the main points in the table.

CC "Chief Accountant"

Changing the legal address is one of the most “unpleasant” procedures for any company. Many managers and accountants of the company try to avoid re-registration of the address due to the change of company details, as well as the need to change the tax office and funds.

Requisite 08 - name of the organization

To change or not to change the legal address?

Let's try to understand the pros and cons of changing the legal address of an LLC to a new one. The only disadvantage of changing the legal address is the need to change something, do something, re-register. Of course, changing a legal address is a complicated process, but if it is accompanied by our lawyers, you will not feel any inconvenience. But the advantages of making changes to the information about the address of the legal entity are obvious:

If a company (LLC, JSC) is not located at the registration address, does not receive correspondence, it runs the risk that an entry will appear in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities stating that information about the legal address is unreliable. This can have a very adverse effect on the company's image, customers and counterparties may refuse to cooperate with such a legal entity.

If the legal address does not match the actual one, the company may be fined for inaccurate information by the tax office.

The owner of the property, knowing that the company is registered at his address illegally (without supporting documents), has the right to file an application with the tax office about the unreliability of information about the address of the legal entity, which will be recorded in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, or apply to the arbitration court with a claim against legal entity. We advise you to pay attention to the resolution of July 30, 2013 No. 61 of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation on certain issues in the practice of resolving disputes related to the reliability of the address of a legal entity.

Inaccurate legal address is a problem in the preparation of contracts, accounting and tax documents. Problems are created when opening a bank account, registering a cash register with a tax office.

The main requirement for a legal address (according to the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation) is possibility of contact with a legal entity. Therefore, the legal address for registering an LLC must be real, from the owner, with postal service providing communication with the company.

If these requirements are not met, the legal address must be changed.

  • The cost of changing the legal address is 7500 rubles!

What is needed to change the legal address?

The easiest way is to contact us by calling us by phone, coming to our office, or ordering a change of legal address online. The company will only need to provide an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (or order an extract from us), passport data of the head of the company, as well as letter of guarantee from the owner of the new legal address.

If your company is registered in Moscow, you decide to change the legal address, as it does not meet today's requirements, but you do not have the opportunity to re-register the LLC to a different address, we suggest using our offer:

How to change the legal address in 2018?

Since 2016, the procedure for changing the legal address has changed. A distinction should be made between the location of a legal entity and the address of a legal entity. If only the address of the legal entity, which is indicated in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, changes, then a simple scheme is used:

Changing the legal address of an LLC (step-by-step instructions for changing an address within the location of a legal entity)

How to change the legal address of an LLC without changing the region or locality? Here we will provide step-by-step instructions for changing the legal address. If you order a company re-registration service from us, these steps will be performed by our lawyers:

  • Preparation of documents for changing the legal address (applications, decisions, protocols, letter of guarantee for changing the address)
  • Certification of the signature on the application by a notary and submission of documents to the tax office.
  • Receipt of documents from the tax inspectorate (registration sheet of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on amendments to the constituent documents in the form P50007, extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, new edition charter, certificate of registration with the new tax office).

Changing the location of the LLC (step-by-step instructions for changing the legal address)

Since 2016, it has become more difficult to change the location of a legal entity (the exception is the change of the address of the company to the address of the place of residence of the founder of the LLC, which owns at least 50 percent of the votes of the total number of votes of the participants or the head of the LLC (JSC).

  • Within 3 working days from the date of the decision to change the location of the company, it is necessary to enter information into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities that a decision has been made to change the legal address.
  • Provide supporting documents for the right to use the address.
  • After the expiration of 20 days, submit documents to change the legal address to the registration authority where the company is going to move.

What needs to be done after registering a change in legal address with the tax office?

After changing the legal address, you will need to obtain new statistics codes. Our company offers this service for 1500 rubles.

You can get answers to any questions regarding the registration of an LLC and an individual entrepreneur using the service free consultation on business registration:

When preparing registration documents, you definitely need to decide - what to name the LLC? Your organization must have a full corporate name in Russian, including an indication of the legal form. For example, “Optovik Limited Liability Company”.

Additionally, Article 4 of Law No. 14-FZ gives the right to have an abbreviated name of a legal entity in Russian (with the abbreviation "LLC"), as well as a full and abbreviated name in the languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation and in foreign languages. In total, 6 names are obtained, but the main one is the full company name of LLC in Russian.

In some cases, the full name of the legal entity must indicate the type of activity (pawnshops, Insurance companies, payment systems). But at the same time, the name of the company cannot consist only of words denoting the type of activity (Article 1473 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

How to check the name of an LLC for uniqueness

Can the name of the company repeat the company name of another organization? According to article 1474 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a legal entity is not entitled to use the company name of another company. However, identical or similar LLC names do occur in practice.

The fact is that tax office when accepting registration documents, it does not check the uniqueness of the name of the organization you have chosen. After registration, the company is identified not by the name of the LLC, but by the TIN and ORGN codes, which are not repeated.

You can check the uniqueness of the selected name yourself through. Take, for example, the word "East", which is popular in the names of organizations.

If we set up a search by exact match of the name, then the service will give us 8 legal entities "Vostok", with different TIN and OGRN. If we look for the names of organizations containing the word "East" in variations, then we will get 200 answers.

The owner of the company name LLC has the right to file a lawsuit to force another organization to change an identical or confusingly similar name, but the following conditions must be met for this:

  • organizations are engaged in similar activities;
  • the company name of the plaintiff is included in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities earlier than the company name of the defendant.

So, if you do not want such litigation in the future, we recommend choosing a unique name that is not yet in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

Are you planning to register an LLC? Use a free online service that will reduce the time for preparing documents and eliminate errors.

Requirements for the name of a legal entity

When choosing a name for an LLC, keep in mind that the name requirements are established by law. According to Art. 1473 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the company name of a legal entity cannot include such designations as:

  1. foreign borrowings in Russian transcription or in transcriptions of the languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation of terms and abbreviations reflecting the organizational and legal form of a legal entity;
  2. full or abbreviated official names of foreign countries, as well as words derived from such names;
  3. full or abbreviated official names of federal state authorities, state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments;
  4. full or abbreviated names of international and intergovernmental organizations;
  5. full or abbreviated names of public associations;
  6. designations that are contrary to the public interest, as well as the principles of humanity and morality.

We draw your attention to the risks when indicating the word "Limited" in the name of the LLC, the direct translation of which is "Limited". Although this word in itself is not a term or an abbreviation of the organizational and legal form of a legal entity, however, some IFTS recognize it as such and refuse registration. We recommend that you clarify in advance with the registration authority the possibility of including this word in the company name of your company.

You can include the words “Russia”, “Russian Federation” and derivatives of them in the name of the LLC of the company if you have permission from the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. You can find out how to obtain this permission in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 03.02.2010 N 52.

The use of words formed from the name of the subject of the Russian Federation is also established by some regional regulations. So, it is allowed to include in the name of the organization words derived from “Moscow” only in agreement with the Heraldic Council of the city of Moscow (Decree of the Government of Moscow dated March 27, 2015 N 147-PP).

And only educational institutions and physical culture and sports organizations that train athletes.

The name of the organization is indicated in the constituent documents. The Civil Code does not contain any indication of how the company should be called, except for some restrictions, which we will discuss below. The main thing is to indicate the legal form. Also, the constituent documents must contain the full name of the organization and the abbreviated name (if any).

The last one is not at all required condition During registration. You can get by with one, but often this makes bureaucratic work difficult. In addition, the abbreviated name of the organization can significantly save the budget. We will discuss these issues in more detail in this article.

concept

The name of the organization is the name, the name of the company, which is submitted to the Unified State Register Legal entities(Unified State Register of Legal Entities). “Whatever you call a ship, so it will sail” - time-tested wisdom. To date, there are highly specialized specialists in the field of naming (help in finding the optimal name) and branding (creating a recognizable image). We will touch legal aspect of this concept, we will analyze how the change of the name of the organization affects further activities.

Mandatory use of words in the title

We have already noted above that the Civil Code does not contain any regulations, requirements for creating a memorable name for an enterprise. However, there are certain areas of activity in which some words are required:

  1. The word "Bank" or "Non-bank credit organization" is obligatory for credit and financial institutions.
  2. Insurance organizations are required to use terms that are related to their activities, such as "mutual insurance", "insurance broker".
  3. Non-profit organizations are required to indicate the legal status and nature of their activities, for example " Charitable Foundation”, “Public religious organization" and etc.

By the same logic, the name of an organization that will mislead consumers is prohibited. Such examples include the words “microfinance organization”, “pawnshop”, “exchange” for companies that have nothing to do with that activity.

Abbreviated names

Abbreviated names, as a rule, are used in those organizations that are required to include certain words. This greatly increases the full name. There are difficulties associated with the manufacture of signs, forms, seals, etc. Also, long names are difficult to perceive by consumers, it is difficult to create a recognizable brand. The Civil Code does not prohibit the parallel use of the abbreviated name in everyday activities.

Organization name: sample

So, two names can be used in the law. The first must fully comply with all clauses of the Civil Code, for example, Primorsky Forest Limited Liability Company, Non-profit organization"Decent future". We agree that such long names will create difficulties in the widespread work. Abbreviated names may look like this: Primorsky Les LLC, NGO Worthy Future. It is also allowed to have an additional name in English, in the language of the indigenous and small peoples of Russia.

What can not be used in official names

It is legally prohibited to include in the corporate name of an organization:

  • Full or abbreviated name of authorities, regulatory organizations, law enforcement agencies.
  • Official names of states, international, interstate and intergovernmental organizations.
  • Names that are contrary to the norms of morality, generally accepted norms, public interests, principles of rationality.

The last point is subjective. There are many disputes and opinions on this subject. However, common sense wins in them, and we do not see inscriptions on shop windows that evoke negative associations in us. Of course, there are always those who are dissatisfied, but these are purely individual cases, they are not expressed en masse.

As for the official names of states, there is some misunderstanding here: is it possible to use the name "Russia" or "Russian Federation"?

The name of our country is only allowed by permission. Its procedure is established by the Government.

Right of exclusive use

The state at the legislative level is struggling with unfair competition. Sometimes dishonest entrepreneurs use an already familiar brand for their own purposes: they name their companies the same way. This is legally prohibited. An identical or similar name is not allowed. The exception is various areas activities: for example, two companies with the same name"Relight". The first sells electronics, the second - food. Such a case will not contradict the law, since there is no competition between firms.

If two companies have the same name, sell similar goods or services, then the right of exclusive use belongs to the one that was registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities first. For the second, negative consequences may occur: compensation for losses associated with misuse. In addition, she is obliged to rename her enterprise. Next, we will tell you more about this.

Who decides on the renaming

The change of the name of the organization without fail occurs by decision of the competent governing body. The procedure does not depend on the reason for which it occurs. The court has no right to rename the enterprise itself. It can only oblige the competent governing bodies to change the sign. The procedure is determined by the relevant federal law, depending on the organizational and legal nature. For example, the functioning of a joint-stock company is regulated by federal law No. 208-FZ of December 26, 1995 “On joint-stock companies". A meeting of shareholders is held. It is where the decision is made.

Change of organization name: sample order

Suppose a certain firm sued its competitor with the same name. The local arbitration court granted the filed claim. Now the competitor, which also has a similar name, is obliged to change it in the near future. The legal procedure for such actions is regulated federal law dated February 8, 1998 No. 14 - Federal Law "On Limited Liability Companies". A constituent assembly is convened, at which a decision is made on the renaming. After that, the leader issues an order that contains something like the following:

“Based on the entry made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on the renaming of the Limited Liability Company ... (name) into the Limited Liability Company ... (name, number of the certificate of making an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities of the series ... No. ..., issued by the Interdistrict Inspectorate Federal Tax Service of Russia No. ... for ... region ... date) I order:

  1. Use new name.
  2. To the head of the personnel department (full name) to make changes to employment contracts, books, personnel records.
  3. Deputy Director (full name) to prepare new letterhead, seals, stamps provided for by the current instruction on office work; notify all existing counterparties of the change in the company in accordance with applicable law.
  4. To the Deputy Director for the economic part (full name) to order a new signboard of the Company and install it before ... (date).
  5. I reserve control over the execution of the order.

Renaming order

Changing the name of an enterprise is a difficult process. On practice large companies resort to it extremely rarely, due to serious circumstances. To rename, do the following:

  • change the founding documents;
  • re-register with new documents in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
  • change all seals, forms, contracts, including labor contracts;
  • publish the necessary local documents, etc.

After renaming, it is imperative to notify all partners and counterparties official letters. If on the balance sheet of enterprises there are vehicles, real estate, trademarks, patented inventions, etc. - everything will also have to be re-registered. Those who have experienced this know how difficult it is, for example, to obtain a patent for a brand in Rosreestr.
