Interesting choice of names and not sure they can use an existing name. I know bands definitely can’t if that counts!
Law (in UK)is pretty clear that if someone registers a Ltd before anyone else the name becomes theirs to use and gives them the ability to stop others operating in the UK.
This happens to numerous sole traders ever year where by out of the blue a Ltd set up recently tells them to change name or they will sue. Not much they can do even if set up 30 years before the Ltd.
Given the name conflict will be in the UK (where they both operate in other words) the above law may come into play. I am not too sure what the international legal aspect is. I am not a lawyer but the above is what we covered at Business School and i thought it might help!
