You need the right name for your New York corporation. Choosing the right name is vital because it tells your suppliers, customers and employees what your business does. New York has several rules and regulations about what you can call your new business. Let’s explore what they are.
In addition to the rules above, it’s also vital to see if your New York corporation name might infringe on the trademark or service mark of another business. For example, it might not be a good idea to call yourself “General Electric Research Services,” since General Electric is a trademark.
The easiest way to see if your proposed business name infringes is to carry out a trademark search. You can do that via the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or Incfile can help you protect your business with our new Trademark Search and Registration service. You should also bear in mind that your New York business entity name cannot be substantially similar to an existing trademark or service mark.
