You can start a new business firm with same business under a different registered name and address. You can be the proprietrix of the business firm.

Dear Client,
Starting a new business that mirrors the one your husband was sued for might pose legal risks, especially if the new business closely resembles the one involved in the infringement case. Even if it's under a different name and address, if the products or services are substantially similar, it could be considered a continuation of the previous infringement. Additionally, if your husband was named in the lawsuit, his involvement in a similar business could be seen as a violation of any court orders or judgments related to the case. Violating court orders can have severe consequences, potentially leading to further legal action or penalties.
Before starting any new business, it's crucial to review the details of the lawsuit against your husband. Court orders and settlements may have specific clauses that prevent similar businesses from being started. You can explore other business opportunities that won't infringe on any existing intellectual property or violate court orders. Remember, starting a new business should ideally be done within the bounds of the law to avoid further legal complications.
