Then (chapter III) we assess which problems were in brand name systems, continental and non continental, to continue (chapter IV) doing a brief commentary about the legal status of the “Catholic” name and its implications for national and international law. At the end (chapter V) we conclude which was and supposed to be the religious confessions’ right to have a proper name.
