Application for Direction to LLP to Change its Name

An application for direction to an LLP to change its name is filed when the name of a Limited Liability Partnership is found to be identical, deceptively similar, or conflicting with an existing company name, LLP name, trademark, or legally protected business identity.

Under the LLP Act and MCA regulations, affected entities may seek directions from the competent authority requiring the LLP to adopt a new name to avoid confusion, legal disputes, or infringement-related concerns.
