    Nope. The only way to get exclusive rights to a business name is to register it as a corporation; assuming it's available.

    You could also trade mark the name for about €250

    That'll give him rights to the name, certainly, but it won't stop someone else registering the the corporation name, which could lead to trouble down the line. He might want to use a trademark agent too, as the mark would need to be registered in the right category or categories.
