HELLO THERE!
 
The IUPAC name of the compound is Benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (not 1,4).
 
Start numbering from the Carbon attached with the COOH group at the right and continue numbering towards the left. You get the next COOH group at the 3rd position. 
 
The common name of this compound is Isopthalic acid.
 
THANKS!
