Abstract

Name of the firm is by the Commercial Code name of the entrepreneur registered in commercial register. The effective legal regulation distinguishs between the name of natural person (its first name and surname) and the name of company (its name and obligatory addition declaring its legal form). The name is not allowed to be deceptive and mistakable. It can be transfered only together with an enterprise. If the name is unwarrantedly interferented the injured person can require an unwarranted user to forbear his behaviour and to eliminate the defective state. He can also demand delivery of an unwarranted enrichment, adequate satisfaction and damages.Reform of civil law transposes the regulation of name of the firm to Civil Code, but maintains some principles of existing legal regulations: the name is a designation for entrepreneurs registered in commercial register, it is not allowed to be deceptive and mistakable. However the draft bill of the Civil Code brings change in some elements of the regulation: natural person does not need to use obligatory name and surname, right to use the name by its transition on a new user is regulated in more detail and more detailed is also the regulation of using the names of natural persons in names of companies.By way of contrast possibility of transfer of the name is not explicitly solved. It may be used the general regulation about transfer of the thing. Existing interpretative problems become this way deeper.
