the matter of application No. 1789. For a change of company name of registration No. 11285624. DECISION The company name INTEL PRINT LTD has been registered since 3 April 2018 under number
11285624. By an application filed on 5 July 2018, Intel Corporation applied for a change of name of this registration under the provisions of section 69(1) of the Companies Act 2006 (the
Act). A copy of this application was sent to the primary respondent’s registered office on 25 July 2018, in accordance with rule 3(2) of the Company Names Adjudicator Rules 2008. The copy of
the application was sent by Royal Mail “signed for” post. On 20 September 2018, the parties were advised that no defence had been received to the application and so the adjudicator may
treat the application as not being opposed. The parties were granted a period of 14 days to request a hearing in relation to this matter, if they so wished. No request for a hearing was
made. The primary respondent did not file a defence within the one month period specified by the adjudicator under rule 3(3). Rule 3(4) states: > The primary respondent, before the end of
that period, shall file a > counter-statement on the appropriate form, otherwise the adjudicator > may treat it as not opposing the application and may make an order > under
section 73(1). Under the provisions of this rule, the adjudicator may exercise discretion so as to treat the respondent as opposing the application. In this case I can see no reason to
exercise such discretion and, therefore, decline to do so. As the primary respondent has not responded to the allegations made, it is treated as not opposing the application. Therefore, in
accordance with section 73(1) of the Act I make the following order: (a) INTEL PRINT LTD shall change its name within one month of the date of this order to one that is not an offending
name[footnote 1]: (b) INTEL PRINT LTD shall: (i) take such steps as are within its power to make, or facilitate the making, of that change; (ii) not to cause or permit any steps to be taken
calculated to result in another company being registered with a name that is an offending name. In accordance with s.73(3) of the Act, this order may be enforced in the same way as an order
of the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. In any event, if no such change is made within one month of the date of this order, I will determine a new company name as per
section 73(4) of the Act and will give notice of that change under section 73(5) of the Act. Intel Corporation having been successful, is entitled to a contribution towards its costs. I
order INTEL PRINT LTD to pay Intel Corporation costs on the following basis: Fee for application: £400 Statement of case: £400 Total: £800 This sum is to be paid within seven days of the
expiry of the appeal period or within seven days of the final determination of this case if any appeal against this decision is unsuccessful. Any notice of appeal against this decision to
order a change of name must be given within one month of the date of this order. Appeal is to the High Court in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and to the Court of Session in Scotland.
The company adjudicator must be advised if an appeal is lodged, so that implementation of the order is suspended. Dated 12 October 2018. Christopher Bowen Company Names Adjudicator * An
“offending name” means a name that, by reason of its similarity to the name associated with the applicant in which he claims goodwill, would be likely to be the subject of a direction under
section 67 (power of Secretary of State to direct change of name), or to give rise to a further application under section 69. ↩ Back to top
