12. The Architects Rules are amended by inserting, immediately after rule 18, the following rule:
“Practice names
18A.—(1) No registered architect shall supply any architectural services in Singapore under any practice name unless that practice name has been approved by the Board.
(2) An application for the Board’s approval of a practice name shall be made in such form and manner as the Board may require.
(3) The Board may refuse to approve a practice name if, in its opinion, that practice name is so similar to another existing approved practice name as to be likely to cause confusion to the public.
(4) In this rule, “practice name” means the name of the proprietorship, partnership of wholly registered architects, limited liability partnership or corporation under which a registered architect supplies or intends to supply architectural services in Singapore.”.
