Interesting subject. Do you know if Weathershield are associated with Weatherguard. Another company offering same services in Cyprus. As to the use of the name Weathershield, there is no breach of the law as I see it because the name Weathershield(Dulux version) is a brand name and not a company name. Furthermore the Cyprus company have added the word cyprus to their trading name. Like any other brand name, unless you are using it in the same manner (as a brand name) nothing stops it being used for other purposes. For example, if a car manufacturer decides to name a new model e.g. Ford 'Focus', it does not stop anyone calling themselves 'Focus car bodies'
