Are you Trademarked/Registered etc? I just did a search for Rockit at business.govt.nz and neither you or him show up.

Search companies.govt.nz and you will find Rice & his brother.

Also I see Jonny Reid has renamed his company to Rockit now too :)

Congrats Mr. N, I now know where you live.

But it seems they have not REGISTERED their company as Rockit, so unless you have a copyright, you have't got a leg. They would need to be called "Rockit Sound Limited" for you to have a case.

The companies register is scary thorough...

The companies register is scary thorough...

there's a huge difference between the Companies Office and trademarks... the wording in company names can be very similar and still be accepted, as long as there is some way to tell them apart.
If you register/ed Rockit as a trademark in the audio industries, then you can stop them trading as Rockit in any similar industry. Trademarks only apply for the industries you register, so Rockit Bed Company or Rockit Party Pills could be fine.

I'll keep my eyes open for ya Rice... any idea what part of town they're in or shall I JFGI? :001_tongue:
