Rights to a name^[1] can be obtained not only by natural persons, but also by legal persons (for example, as a company name) and, under certain circumstances, also by state institutions. Rights to a name are particularly important in the law of designations in the case of conflicts outside the course of trade, where other designations do not normally enjoy protection.
For example, designation rights have recently taken on particular significance when action has been taken against domains that were used for a private website and thus not in the course of trade, so that other designation rights did not apply.
