INTRODUCTION
[1] The applicant “applied for” certain names. Apparently the application was for
the reservation of certain names in terms of section 12 of the Companies Act
71 of 2008 (“Companies Act”/ “Act”).
[2] The reservation of the names was refused by the Companies and Intellectual
Property Commission (“CIPC”).
[3] An application is now brought to the Companies Tribunal as a result of the
refusal by the CIPC to reserve the particular name.
[4] The applications in respect of the names are virtually identical, but to exclude
possible confusion, will be treated as separate applications.
