Political terminology in your company name
Political terms such as Eidgenossenschaft, Bund, eidgenössisch, Kanton, kantonal, Gemeinde, kommunal or other terms that may be interpreted as such are forbidden to be any part of your company name insofar that it could give the impression that the company has a public or official function ( Art. 6 Wappenschutzgesetz; SR 232.21).
This includes the same terms use in a company name in any of the national languages. If the first impression of the name does not insinuate an official function, the name should generally be acceptable.
Example of allowable use:
Restaurant zu den sieben Kantonen (Restaurant to the Seven Cantons)
Example of unacceptable use:
Eidgenössische Taxi AG (Federal Taxi Inc.)
