19 July 2025 Hey! About your partnership firm name in Telangana—since partnership firms aren’t registered with the Registrar of Companies (they don’t have the same trademark/name protection as companies), the name availability is a bit more flexible than company names.

If the name you want is already used by someone in Chennai as a company name, it doesn’t necessarily block you from using it as a partnership firm name in Telangana. But you need to check a few things:

Trademark: If the name is trademarked by that company, you cannot use it to avoid infringement.
Business registration: You can check with the local Registrar of Firms in Telangana if the name is already registered as a partnership.
Avoid confusion: Even if legally possible, using the exact same name may cause confusion or legal issues later.
So, it's safer to do a trademark search and check local partnership registries.
