Section 17 of the Registration of Business Names Act (Cap. 499): “17. (1) The Registrar shall refuse to register, or, in the case of an application under section 9, to register a change of business name of, any firm, individual or corporation, or proposing to carry on business under a business name— (a) which contains any word which, in the opinion of the Registrar, is likely to mislead the public as to the nationality, race or religion of the persons by whom the business is wholly or mainly owned or controlled; (b) which includes any of the words "Presidential", "Government", "Municipal" or any other word which imports or suggests that the business enjoys the patronage of the President or imports any connexion with the Government or with any municipality or other local authority… (cc) which includes the words "Old Law Courts Mombasa" "National Monument" "Lamu Fort" "Nairobi Botanical Gardens" "Nairobi Snake Part" "National Museum" "Fort Jesus", or "Karen Blixen"… … (e) which in the opinion of the Registrar is undesirable.” So, why is the name “Karen Blixen” a protected name?
