Goals of the new regime

With the new act the following goals shall be achieved: (1) harmonization of the criteria on corporate names; (2) harmonization with respect to the protection of the corporate name; (3) recognizability of the legal form of the entity; and (4) continuity with respect to corporate names.

The new regime offers new possibilities with respect to the corporate names of general partnerships, limited partnerships and partnerships limited by shares.

But owing to the liberal transitional provisions of the new regime, no immediate action is required to adapt the corporate names of existing companies and partnerships.
