(1) Only partnerships under this Act may use the suffixes “partnership” or “and partner(s)”. Companies which include in their name such a designation as of the entry into force of this Act, without being partners within the meaning of this Act, may continue to use this designation until the end of a period of two years after the entry into force of this Act. After that deadline, they may only continue to use such a designation if their name includes a reference to another legal form in addition to the designation “partnership” or “and partner/s”.
(2) The registration and entry in the register of the power of representation of the partners and the liquidators which corresponds to the normal legal case is only required if a provision of the partnership agreement on the power of representation which deviates from the normal legal case is registered and entered into the register or if for the first time the liquidators are registered and entered into the register. The court of registration may also undertake, ex officio, the entry of a power of representation which corresponds to the normal legal case. The registration and entry of the date of birth of already entered partners must take place only in the event of registration and entry regarding one of the partners.
