How long are horse names protected for now???

for a gelding such as that, it's 5 yrs after death or once the horse reaches 20 yrs old, stallions were 15 yrs after death and maybe 30 yrs old (i think) it may have changed or i may be mixing with mares, can't remember exactly but the names are not protected for your average horse other than by time frames

then there's a list of protected names for the likes of group winners etc which are off limits

give me a min or 2
