20  The Registrar must record the distinguishing word or expression
(1) The Registrar must record the distinguishing word or expression that relates to a business or businesses carried on by an entity under a business name registered to the entity.
(2) However, the distinguishing word or expression does not form part of the business name.
(3) The Registrar may remove the record of a distinguishing word or expression in relation to a business name if the Registrar is reasonably satisfied that the removal would not lead to confusion about who is carrying on a business or businesses under that business name.
(4) If the Registrar removes the record, the Registrar must notify the following entities of the removal:
 (a) the entity to whom the business name is registered;
 (b) each entity for whom the Registrar has contact details to whom the business name, or a nearly identical business name, was formerly registered.
(5) The Registrar may also notify any other entity of the removal of the distinguishing word or expression if the Registrar is reasonably satisfied that the other entity's interests might be affected by the removal.
