How it comes up, in Chapter 3
Clause 3.2 sets the deadline for the change of name. The Sheffield company may keep “Kelderwick” in its name until month 3. It must send Kelderwick IP a copy of the new certificate within five Working Days after it is issued. Clause 3.4 adds a rule for any new name: no company name, trade mark or domain name may include “Kelderwick” or be confusingly similar to one of the marks.
