| | Definition: | | \Trade name\
1.
(a) The name by which an article is called among traders,
etc.; as, tin spirits is a common trade name in the
dyeing industry for various solutions of tin salts.
(b) An invented or arbitrary adopted name given by a
manufacturer or merchant to an article to distinguish
it as produced or sold by him.
2. The name or style under which a concern or firm does
business. This name becomes a part of the good will of a
business; it is not protected by the registration acts,
but a qualified common-law protection against its misuse
exists, analogous to that existing in the case of
trade-marks.
