Legal Aspects of the Issue of Trade Title Transfer: A Comparative Study

الملخص

Abstract: One of the most important means and fundamental pillars of commercial economic activity is intangible property, including the trade name. The trade name serves as a identifier for the merchant, and it may be used as a trademark indicating the type of goods produced or as a trade name. Some Arab laws conflate the terms trade name and trade name, despite the difference between them. While trade names in partnerships are derived from company names, the trade name is a crucial intangible element for the merchant and their business. It is the name the merchant uses to identify themselves and their commercial activity. Ownership of this title can be transferred either as an accessory or independently. As an accessory is obvious, meaning the trade name is transferred along with the ownership of the business premises or store. For example, ownership of the trade name may be transferred to the buyer, the store's heir, or a partner. Independent transfer refers to the transfer of ownership of the trade name alone, without the store.
