What is an identifier?

An identifier is the official name of the business when registered with the authorities. This is the name used in business advertising, transactions and communication activities, such as via SMS, phone calls or emails. Using identifiers helps distinguish a business’s brand from other brands, while confirming ownership and protecting legal rights.

Identifier names not only play a role in brand recognition but are also an important factor in ensuring the legality of businesses when participating in commercial activities. Therefore, identifiers must be chosen carefully and must comply with current legal regulations.

The role of identifiers

Identifiers bring many important benefits to businesses, including:

  • Brand authentication: Identification names help businesses build and authenticate brands, and help customers identify businesses more easily.
  • Protect intellectual property rights: Once a business name has been registered, a business can legally protect the right to use this name, avoiding the brand name being duplicated or infringed.
  • Building reputation: Using legal identifiers helps businesses improve reputation in the eyes of customers and partners, especially when participating in commercial transactions and advertising.

Reasons to perform looking up identifiers

Looking up identifiers before registering helps businesses avoid many unwanted problems. Here are the important reasons:

  • Ensure uniqueness: Lookup helps businesses determine whether the identifier they want to use has been registered. This helps avoid having to change the name after being used for a long time.
  • Avoid legal conflicts: Searching helps businesses avoid violating the intellectual property rights of other organizations and individuals. If the name has been registered by another unit, the business can choose another name to avoid disputes.
  • Compliance with legal regulations: Looking up identifiers is part of the trademark registration process, helping businesses fully comply with the regulations of the authorities, avoiding registration rejection or encountering legal problems later.

Instructions for quickly looking up identifiers

Looking up identifiers can be done through online tools provided by state agencies. The steps are simple as follows:

  • Step 1: Access official websites of state agencies such as VNCERT/CC or name lookup services provided by the Department of Information Security.
  • Step 2: Enter the identifier name in the search box to check if that name has been registered or not. For example, when searching for the name “Long Phan”, the system will return results if this name is already registered.
  • Step 3: If the identifier has not been registered, the business can continue with the registration process. If the name is already registered, the business needs to choose another name to avoid violating intellectual property rights.

Looking up identifiers is an important step in the registration process, helping to ensure businesses avoid errors and legal risks later.
