What is the
Art. 1016 name check
PGR Art. 1016 protects against confusingly similar names — Digihub does not confirm “free” without evidence. Check stays pending until evidence-based review (AJU / gesetze.li). Agents must not invent clearance. On collision: pick another name.
Not legal advice. Agents can pay and start. Humans stay in the loop for KYC, acceptance and filing. Prices and timelines may change; official fees are separate.
Name check in practice
Pick a name fitting the LVC. Digihub does not auto-run AJU matching in the agent flow.
Status «pending» is honest — no hallucinated green light before signature.
Voluntary register entry strengthens name protection.

Practice & limits (deepened)
Digihub formation practice: machine-readable manifest and quote, x402 USDC payment, intake with name (“… Genossenschaft”), purpose, two real names, shares and seat, then draft pack and status JSON. Target SLA: seven days to filing-ready. ready_to_file does not mean “on the commercial register” or “AfJ stamped”.
PGR Art. 1016 protects against confusing names; Digihub keeps the check pending until evidence exists. The agent does not confirm “available”. Register entry is optionally recommended (name protection, visibility); authority time is separate. Pack prices from the quote; official fees often CHF extra.
Liberation and capital paying-in are separate rails: the standard is a cash payment with a bank confirmation, crypto only as a contribution in kind case by case — capital-account and stablecoin guides. Contributions in kind: Art. 391 para. 5 and 392 para. 2 PGR. Start: /en/found, /en/timeline, /en/pricing, /en/agents.
Specifically on «What is the Art. 1016 name check?»: PGR Art. 1016 protects against confusingly similar company names. Digihub keeps the check pending until it is evidenced. The agent must not invent an “it’s free” confirmation. A collision means pick another name, do not keep tinkering. Name: “[Name] Genossenschaft” — no doubled “Venture Cooperative Genossenschaft”. This deepening is preview orientation — not legal or tax advice. Verify against AJU, gesetze.li and advisers. Entries: found, LVC, guides.
