Sec. 21.09.050. Name of insurer.
(a) An insurer may not be authorized to transact insurance in this state that has or uses a name so similar to that of another authorized insurer that the name is likely to mislead the public.
(b) A life insurer may not be authorized that has or uses a name deceptively similar to that of another insurer authorized to transact insurance in this state within the preceding 10 years if life insurance policies originally issued by the other insurer are still outstanding in this state.
(c) An insurer may not be authorized that has or uses a name that tends to deceive or mislead the public as to the type of organization of the insurer.
(d) In case of a conflict of names between two insurers, or a conflict otherwise prohibited under (a) - (c) of this section, the director may permit or require the more recently authorized insurer to use in this state a supplementation or modification of its name or a business name that may reasonably be necessary to avoid the conflict.
