Nevada Revised Statutes Section 87.455 - Business Associations - Securities - Commodities

Name of partnership: Reinstatement under old or new name; regulations.

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, if a registered limited-liability partnership applies to reinstate its right to transact business but its name has been legally acquired by any other artificial person formed, organized, registered or qualified pursuant to the provisions of this title whose name is on file with the Office of the Secretary of State or reserved in the Office of the Secretary of State pursuant to the provisions of this title, the applying registered limited-liability partnership shall submit in writing to the Secretary of State some other name under which it desires its right to transact business to be reinstated. If that name is distinguishable from all other names reserved or otherwise on file, the Secretary of State shall reinstate the registered limited-liability partnership under that new name.

2. If the applying registered limited-liability partnership submits the written, acknowledged consent of the artificial person having the name, or the person who has reserved the name, that is not distinguishable from the old name of the applying registered limited-liability partnership or a new name it has submitted, it may be reinstated under that name.

3. For the purposes of this section, a proposed name is not distinguishable from a name on file or reserved name solely because one or the other contains distinctive lettering, a distinctive mark, a trademark or a trade name, or any combination of these.

4. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations that interpret the requirements of this section.
