Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Without limiting the discretion of the Secretary of State to
				  determine that a name is likely to mislead the public, a proposed name is
				  likely to mislead the public in the following circumstances:
(a) If the proposed name creates a false
				implication of government affiliation.
(1) A
				proposed name may imply a government affiliation if the proposed name contains
				the recognized name or abbreviation of a city, county, state, country, region
				or recognized subdivision within a state or country and/or includes a word or
				words that commonly denote governmental organization or authority.
(2) Words that commonly denote governmental
				organization include, but are not limited to, "Agency," "Commission,"
				"Department," "Bureau," "Division," "Municipal" or "Board."
Examples:
San Mateo County Sewer Commission implies a government
				  affiliation.

California Code of Regulations › Title 2 - Administration › Division 7 - Secretary of State › Chapter 8.5 - Business Entity Names › Section 21004 - Distinguishable in the Records of the Secretary of State

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A proposed name is distinguishable in the
				records of the Secretary of State from an existing name when it is not the same
				as an existing name and, except as provided in subsection (b), contains one or
				more different letters or numerals or has a different sequence of the same
				letters or numerals that is plainly recognizable by means of sight by the
				Secretary of State or a designee of the Secretary of State.
(b) A proposed name is not distinguishable in
				the records of the Secretary of State from an existing name if the names are
				the same or differ only in one or more of the following ways:
(1) If the difference between the proposed
				name and existing name is the existence or absence of business entity
				identifiers.
(2) If the difference
				between the proposed name and existing name is the use of upper case letters or
				lower case letters or the use of superscript or subscript letters or
				numerals.
(3) If the difference
				between the proposed name and existing name is the addition or omission of
				distinctive lettering or typeface, punctuation as defined in Section
				21001(f), symbols
				as defined in Section
				21001(g), or
				spaces.
Examples:
A B C Corp., AB C Corp., A.B.C. Corp. and A-B-C Corp. would
				  not be distinguishable.
Good Time Rest Home, LLC and Goodtime Rest Home LLC would not
				  be distinguishable.
D.R.E.A.M. Incorporated and Dream Corporation would not be
				  distinguishable.
(4) If the
				difference between the proposed name and existing name is the use of an
				ampersand (&) in place of the word "and" or vice versa.
Example: A & B Corporation and A and B Corporation would
				  not be distinguishable.
(5)
				Notwithstanding Subsection (b)(3), a proposed name might be distinguishable
				from an existing name when the difference between the proposed name and
				existing name is the addition or omission of a space or spaces so that the
				proposed name creates a new word or words that have different meanings.
Example: Got Ham LP is acceptable against Gotham,
				  LP.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A business
				entity name that (1) is prohibited by federal or state law except with consent,
				approval or endorsement or (2) is subject to other state or federal laws may be
				reserved in writing with the Secretary of State; provided, however, that the
				Secretary of State will require appropriate evidence of the required consent,
				approval, endorsement or compliance prior to filing the document containing the
				reserved name.
(b) A name
				reservation or written or oral opinion given by an employee of the Secretary of
				State on the similarity of a name to an existing name or a name reservation
				issued by the Secretary of State is advisory only and is not a final
				determination that the name reservation is acceptable. A final determination on
				the availability of a business entity name is made only when the document
				submitted has been reviewed by the Secretary of State.
(c) Without limiting the discretion of the
				Secretary of State to determine that a proposed name is not distinguishable in
				the record, court judgments may be used for evaluating a proposed name being
				distinguishable in the records from existing names. A proposed name is
				acceptable if the customer submits a certified copy of the final judgment of a
				court of competent jurisdiction establishing the customer's right to use the
				proposed name in California. All court judgments are subject to legal review
				and approval prior to filing by the Secretary of State.
