The Perils of the Name Game at Companies House

company house

UK companies often spend a great deal of time and money choosing a name. Unfortunately, all this time and money could be wasted if the choice of name is rejected by Companies House because it is the same as an existing name. When choosing a name it is advisable to check what names have already been registered. Creditgate.com provides a free search facility of the Companies House index, as well as providing Companies House documents and Credit Reports.

It should be noted that, although a name may be accepted for registration at Companies House, this does not preclude the company from being directed to change its name by Companies House if it is considered to be “too like” an existing name on the Index. Registration of a name is also no indication that proprietary rights such as trade marks, logos, trading names etc., do not exist in a name or part of a name. Therefore, it is advisable to thoroughly research your choice of name before registering it at Companies House.

Companies House is aware of allegations being made that individuals have acted on information obtained from the Press and other sources to register a name apparently so as to block any subsequent application for that name and to seek payment for releasing the name to an interested party. The Companies Act does not contain any special provisions to deal with names which have been registered in these circumstances, often referred to as ‘opportunistic registration’ or ‘name squatting’. An aggrieved party would need to seek legal advice and look outside the company law arena to see whether it could take any action.

As Company names cannot be reserved at Companies House you may wish to consider whether there are any steps you can take to safeguard your choice of name. For example, you may be able to ensure that the choice of name is not made public until that name has been registered by you at Companies House.

What about the future? The Government is currently undertaking a long-term project to modernise British Company Law. This began in 1998 with the launch of an independent review of core Company Law with the final report published in July 2001. Among the suggestions for change, the Review recommended that there should be provision for a person to apply to the courts for a direction to a company to change its name in certain circumstances. Applicants could call on this provision where they could show that a name had been chosen and registered with Companies House with the intention of demanding money to release the name.


Five New Product Ideas

Below are a few new service ideas for things not yet been invented, or innovations not yet been tried. Why don’t you function as inventor or innovator? Help yourself. There aren’t any patents on the following ideas so far as I am aware – but do your patent research, needless to say.

1. A pavlovian dog calling device. The scientist Ivan Pavlov trained dogs to salivate whenever a bell rang – by just ringing a bell whenever they ate. Imagine a small beeper on your dog’s collar. Each time you feed him you first of all start the beeper with a radio-control device. Soon all you need to accomplish to get him to come running for that kitchen is push that button and make these devices beep.

A range of up to and including mile could be nice for calling the dog home. The technology for this is here, waiting to become come up with, but would use it? I do believe so. It’s interesting, useful, and new service ideas for pets will almost always be in high demand lately.

2. The Innovation Game. This is a competitive innovation teaching-game, to help develop players creative skills. Cards challenge players to invent something (on paper) according to certain criteria. For instance, a card may need players to mix two concepts inside the state-of-the-art way. All of the various problem solving techniques could be exercised using these cards.

One problem to overcome in developing the bingo is the competitive aspect. How would results be judged to find out a success? Possibly the game will have to possess a volunteer sit out during each round, to function like a “judge” and award the points.

3. Better pedal boats. The pedal boats you see at many parks are designed to ensure that two people can pedal them around a pond or lake. However, if you have ever tried one, you realize they are less fun than they appear. Chiefly because they’re slow.

A better pedal boat could be inside the shape of a torpedo. The point is to produce a thing that glides from the water easier. Even if it really is to carry multiple person, you could be inside a line, rather than next to the other person, for better streamlining. Make one that will actually hydroplane and everyone by the pool will want to try it out.

4. Underwater treasure hunting camera. With all the new interest in metal detectors and treasure hunting, this can be a natural. Years ago there was a treasure hunter who regularly found guns, money and more in murky rivers, utilizing a tube with a plexiglass glued more than one end, along with a light strapped for the outside. He held these devices nearby the bottom of the river and could see what was there.

What could be a lot better than this? A little camera, especially now that the technology is rolling out smaller components. It may be lowered to great depths from any boat or dock. A motorized “claw” at the end might create it especially useful and interesting to those folks who choose “toys.”

5. Glue-on soles. (Some of you who don’t hike may not connect with this.) Blisters are caused by the friction of your feet sliding and rubbing on the inside of your shoes. A great non-heat-conducting sole, glued for your foot, could slide for the reason that shoe all day while the feet were prevented from getting blisters, considering that the bottom of the foot itself wouldn’t rub against anything. This is the essence of “New Soles,” the newest in foot protection.

Before penning this new service idea off as too weird, understand that we glue fake teeth into our mouths. A similar glue might do the trick, which glue-on soles could be for very specific markets – like long distance hikers and runners. Of course, there will probably must be a straightforward way to take them of too.

Easy Invention Ideas

Easy invention ideas? Why easy? Sometimes it’s just too intimidating to take into account developing a new type of car, television, or other complicated invention. So these are ideas for garage or basement tinkerers. Creating a prototype for some of these will surely cost only the cash on your bottom line. They are not patented yet, in terms of I am aware.

Wild Game Carrier

Deer hunters regularly die of heart attacks while carrying their bucks out of the woods. The invention here would solve this problem. It would come with an inflatable wheel, using coated nylon that will not puncture easily. When you get your deer, inflatable the wheel, and ultizing the clamps on both sides, you attach two poles or sticks which you cut on-page. Attach the simple nylon sling involving the sticks, and you have a wheel-barrow-like device that may carry a deer over even rough trails. Probably weighing only two pounds, it could be carried easily in a day pack.

Helium Kites

Perhaps its been done, but I’ve not seen them sold yet. With some lift in the helium, these kites could possibly be flown in any level of wind. Properly designed, they would still fly something similar to a kite, and with some maneuverability if designed like a stunt kite. A primary prototype might be a kite with a small helium balloon attached. That’s a straightforward invention.

Ad Kites

This is much more of a marketing idea than an invention. Have advertisements on kites and get paid to fly them at the lake or during big outdoor events. Within my former small-town home they paid for planes to drag ads around during festivals, so the market might be there.

Disposable Clothing

If dollar stores are able to keep putting t-shirts in the shops, we know they are getting cheap to produce. So how in regards to a distinct shirts which can be low-quality, but sufficiently good to use, and cost very little to manufacture? You sell them in boxes of 12, as “disposable clothing.” Where’s industry? Maybe individuals who want less laundry to do on long trips. I reserve old clothes just for that purpose, which is the location where the idea came from. Also, some people may want to involve some cheap items to wear for doing dirty jobs.

Kayak Shoes

Otherwise this could happen: You might be wearing two little “kayaks” on your feet. Two more smaller ones at the end of two ski-poles help you balance while you walk over the nearest lake. At 8 feet long and 8 inches around, they would hold about 170 pounds each, incidentally. To test this one, remember that to find the quantity of your cylindrical object, you multiply pi (3.14) times the radius squared times the length. Oh, and each cubic foot of air will support about 64 pounds.

Wind Tents

A straightforward invention idea from childhood. Me and my brothers spent summers at the lake, on Lake Michigan. Many nights, the wind blew steady from the water, and now we discovered that we’re able to make a “wind tent” from a vintage blanket. With three sides pinned down, using rocks and sand, the wind held the “tent” open. We camped out in these tents, although if the wind died, the tent did. Maybe someone might make and market a plastic version. A colorful square of plastic – this really is one of the easiest of the easy invention ideas.

Internet Online Advertising Keeps You Ahead Of The Game

Heres the scoop. My passport is blue and contains an awesome picture of the eagle holding an olive branch (I do believe) and several arrows (although it might be pretty sure it feels much more comfortable while using arrows compared to olive branch). What sort of assumptions about me is it possible to derive from that little piece of information? Well, you should know that I love peanut butter. Which subsequently should lead you to think that I also really am keen on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Thats right peanut butter and jelly, not merely one without the other. There are many such things as this in everyday life. I could give a narrow your search of examples here and have the last one be funny, but that might be just too predictable, so make-up your personal.

The other day though, something interesting happened. I bought blackberry flavored jam, enthusiastically anticipating my next tasty sandwich. But, after i build it and took my first bite I realized that I didnt like that combination in any way. Actually, I preferred just peanut butter, completely disregarding the jelly. This is when I feel about the internet and advertising.

It doesnt require much time online to understand these two entities are as inseparable as something that you might have on the list you made a minute ago. But, that doesnt mean that I must enjoy it. Being online I prefer and there’s some really cool advertising that I like, nevertheless the marriage of the internet and advertising generally seems to create diluted and weakened products as contrasted to their original standing. Whats the point? Probably none, as no separation of the online advertising and the internet will need place, but I really do feel slightly better. However, perhaps basically was obviously a company that was advertising online I would attempt to get back to here is your chance board and think about how combining those two things could strengthen them both.
