22 June 2012 Dear All,

I had applied for new name (in case of incorporating a new company) but the objection raised by ROC about which i am not really aware. please guide me if there is any notification regarding this, following the objection raised:-.

As per the facility provided for name search with the Trade Mark database, it has been observed that prefix 'PLANET' applied for by the applicant is a registered Trade Mark in same field. Trade Mark subject of an application by a person other than the applicant(s) in this application. Therefore, in terms of section 20(2) 9(ii) of the Companies Act, 1956, the same cannot be allowed unless there is No Objection Resolution/Certificate obtained from the owners of the Trade Mark. Resubmit accordingly with fresh names/NOC from the Trade Mark Owner. Form should be resubmitted by 08/07/2012 failing which the eForm shall be treated as invalid and shall not be taken on record. (Please refer Regulation 17 of the Companies Regulation, 1956)

Thanks in advance ...

Best Regards
Pooja
