Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Geneva branch name 'Keytrade Bank SA, Bruxelles, succursale de Genève' violates firm law and must be prohibited.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The younger firm does not sufficiently distinguish itself from the older Swiss firm; 'Keytrade' is the dominant, distinctive element and the added terms are merely descriptive.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 951(2) and 956(2) OR, firms must be clearly distinguishable. The identical use of the distinctive core 'Keytrade' creates at least indirect confusion; 'Bank', 'Bruxelles' and 'succursale de Genève' are insufficient distinguishing additions.
