Should we have to change the company name after registration
31-Aug-2023 (In Trademark & Copyright Law)
We have a company XX, registered with MCA India, registred in Feb 2017. In July 2017 we received a letter from a lawyer saying that "Twitter" is his client and want you to change the name of your company because it resembles to Twitter's trademarks - "XX and XX". I want to ask that should we have to change the name? Because Twitter is a social networking website and our company is registered as IT company. Working of both is different. Also XX is not resembles to Tweet or Twitter according to us. If there is an anomaly then why MCA registered our company with this name? Or we have to act according to as per MCA letter if we get any letter from MCA instead?
The documents and similarity needs to be verified before any opinion can be provided. The Document and evidence has to be clear and in writing to contest the claim of the change in name of the company.

Since exact names are not given in your question, it is difficult to analyse without comparison of conflicting names.
It will also depend upon how you use your company's name for marketing and branding. For example, if you use it for marketing, there might be issues if Twitter has registered substantially similar trade marks.
In short, exact answer will depend upon specific facts.
